Pundit couldn’t stop laughing can’t believe what 24-year-old Tottenham player did on Sunday

Tony Cascarino has acknowledged that he was taken aback by Pedro Porro’s daring backheel inside his own penalty area on Sunday, which left him shocked.

The analyst said on The Game Football Podcast that he was chuckling at the Tottenham defender’s manoeuvre against Manchester City.

Spurs put on a fierce show against the Premier League winners at the Etihad Stadium, earning a 3-3 draw.On the day, Son Heung-Min, Giovani Lo Celso, and Dejan Kulusevski all scored goals; the latter added a late equalizer.

Without a number of important players, many wondered if Ange Postecoglou would change his aggressive approach before going to City. However, it’s reasonable to argue that Tottenham’s boldness on the ball as they attempted to pressure Pep Guardiola’s team paid off.

And Pedro Porro’s one-minute performance in the second half encapsulated Spurs’ strategy.

Cascarino stunned by Porro backheel

Porro handled Jeremy Doku’s threat and performed admirably against his old team.

However, he also gave Spurs composure while operating out of the back, and one particular play summed up his style.

Following a more direct ball from City down the touchline, the Spaniard engaged in competition with Erling Haaland. After beating the City player to the ball, the 24-year-old executed a risky backheel across the edge of Tottenham’s penalty area to find Emerson Royal.

Additionally, Tony Cascarino acknowledged that he was taken aback by the event.

The analyst declared, “Porro did something at the end of the game which I couldn’t stop laughing at.” He flipped around in his own 18-yard box!

Not very long ago, I kept thinking that with the Bissouma one, “You’d be pinned up against the wall in the dressing room.”

“What the hell are you thinking? Players would have you up against the wall.” You did that, but why? and yet, it appears that Ange’s crew approves of it. “Well, I’m going to try it,” is what you can say.

Tottenham’s performance on Sunday was impressive in many ways, and they showed unshakable dedication to playing out from the back.

Naturally, they paid a price for it in the second half when Jack Grealish’s goal was scored when Yves Bissouma was caught with the ball.

In the first half, Emerson Royal handed the ball away while trying to play his way out of difficulties, and Spurs also came dangerously close to conceding a pair of goals. However, Postecoglou’s team also benefited from their audacious strategy, as Son’s opening goal came about as a direct consequence of some superb build-up play on the boundary of their penalty area.

At the Etihad, Tottenham was also missing its starting center backs, as Micky van de Ven was hurt and Cristian Romero was suspended.

Romero’s return for Spurs against West Ham on Thursday will be welcomed by Postecoglou, since both are essential to the team’s desired style of play.
