Pedro Porro Scored His First 25-yard Goal of the Season Stunningly in the FA Cup on Friday Evening
- 4 months ago
Tottenham fans have taken to social media to hail Pedro Porro's stunning opener against Burnley in Friday night's FA Cup clash.
With the tie seemingly heading for a replay, the Spanish right back let fly from around 25 yards with a dipping, swerving effort that soared into the top left corner to give the hosts the lead.
It proved to be the only goal of the game - with Burnley keeper Arijanet Muric coming close to a surprise equalizer in added time - as Ange Postecoglou's side ensured they were in the hat for the fourth round.
Such a strike was sure to resonate with fans, and Spurs supporters quickly took to social media to praise the special goal.
One fan suggested that the player should be considered among the best in the world in his position, and even claimed that he was a leader within the dressing room.
They wrote: 'Pedro Porro is HIM. This is another statement of his greatness, genuinely a world-class player.
'Insane goal, in an incredibly important moment of our season. LEADER.'
Another added: 'Pedro Porro you are unbelievable. Been one of the best players in the Premier League this season.'
A third compared Porro to perhaps one of the best full-backs in the history of the game, writing: 'PORRO-BERTO CARLOS WHAT A STRIKE,' followed by several flame emojis.
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment but also suggested that there were several players perhaps not meeting the example set by the former Sporting defender.
'Porro with a banger,' they wrote. 'Well deserved, only decent player out there tonight'
Others took the opportunity to talk up Porro's virtues in comparison to the Premier League's other leading full-backs, with some suggesting that only Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is his superior.
One fan wrote: 'If Trent Alexander-Arnold didn’t exist, Pedro Porro would be the best full-back in the Premier League.
He’s a joy to watch!'
While another disagreed, claiming: 'Pedro Porro best right back in the league I don't care.'
As a result of the defender's heroics, Tottenham is into the hat for the fourth round of the FA Cup, alongside Fulham, while Everton Crystal Palace Wolves, and Brentford await the outcome of the play-offs.
It was Porro's first goal of the season, having provided seven assists in his 20 appearances this term in all competitions
