It took Hugo Ekitike just six minutes to show the rest of Europe why he’s one of the most wanted young strikers on the continent.
The 22-year-old received the pass a little inside Tottenham’s half, drove at retreating full back Pedro Porro, cut inside, shifted the ball out of his feet and rifled his shot into the bottom corner before the swarm of white shirts could do anything about it.
Off to the corner he ran and slid across the grass on his knees. He later reposted a picture on his Instagram story comparing his celebration to Thierry Henry’s iconic knee slide, an image Spurs fans thought they had long since repressed.
