Micky van de Ven struck it, but Davies got the final touch as it found the back of the net.

The goal was officially awarded to the Welshman, who registered his first Premier League goal since December 2023, in which he scored against Brighton on that occasion.

It's also the defender's first start of the season, as well as Tottenham's first goal in 2026.
