What happened. Savio scored and assisted within minutes of his debut for Tottenham, silencing doubts about his £85m price tag.

• Goal came 11 minutes after coming on, assist three minutes later.
• De Zerbi praised his energy, imagination, and courage.
• Only Doku and Traore complete more dribbles per 90.

“Savio is a player who brings energy, imagination and quality in wide positions.”

— Roberto De Zerbi

Spurs fans hope Savio can help improve on a 17th-place finish, with more to come.
