In the 78th minute, following a corner kick, the midfielder took advantage of a rebound in the box. With an acrobatic move, the Spurs’ number 6 leveled the score at two goals apiece. However, this individual effort would prove insufficient to secure victory for the London club in this round of the league.

With this negative outcome, the team managed by Thomas Frank now occupies 14th place in the standings. The visiting side has 27 points from 21 matches, recording seven wins, seven draws, and the same number of defeats in the competition, falling far short of their initial objectives.

London club far from their goals

The capital city club returns to action against Aston Villa in the FA Cup on January 10. This will be followed by tough matches against West Ham, for the Premier League, and Borussia Dortmund, in the Champions League, making for a completely crazy month of January.

This season, wearing the Tottenham shirt, João Palhinha – valued at 25 million euros – has played 29 games: 20 in the Premier League, six in the Champions League, two in the EFL League Cup, and one in the UEFA Super Cup. In the 1,870 minutes he has been on the pitch, the player has scored five goals and provided two assists.
