Emerson Royal was blasted by Jermaine Jenas on BT Sport's commentary for Tottenham vs Sporting CP after a 'ridiculous' attempt at a no-look pass in the latter stages of the game. The Lilywhites went on to draw the game 1-1 despite late VAR controversy that resulted in Harry Kane's supposed winner - that came from a Royal cross - being ruled out for offside.
With around 80 minutes played, Spurs were knocking on the door for a winner and were piling huge amounts of pressure on Ruben Amorim's men. As the pressure was building, the Brazilian found himself with plenty of space on the right-hand side. The Spurs defender had more than enough time to either pick a pass or deliver a cross into the box, but instead, he failed in a dreadful attempt to play a no-look pass to Bryan Gil. The Ball subsequently went out for a goal-kick.
Jenas, formerly a Spurs player, was left bewildered by such a silly decision: "It's ridiculous," he said live on BT Sport. "If you're going to do it, at least have the quality to do it. You're just letting the team off the hook."
