Porro made to wait
Following the addition of Pedro Porro from Sporting CP, Tottenham fans were desperate to see the new signing make his Spurs bow against Man City. Excelling in his right wing-back role for Sporting CP and demonstrating why he is rated so highly in two Champions League games against the Lilywhites, Cristian Stellini and Antonio Conte opted to name the new signing on the substitutes' bench rather than throw him in from the off.
That meant Emerson Royal was handed his third start in a row in the Premier League. A decision that was questioned by many home fans as they believed Porro should have been given the nod, the Brazilian has played well of late and kept his place in the side on merit.
