Porro dedicates stunning Burnley winner to Harry Pitman
Fri 05 January 2024, 23:55|Tottenham Hotspur
Pedro Porro has dedicated his stunning match-winning goal against Burnley to Harry Pitman - a 16-year-old Spurs fan who was fatally stabbed in London on New Year's Eve.
Opening his account for the campaign, Pedro Porro struck with a incredible strike, looping the ball spectacularly into the top left-hand corner of the net from 25 yards out.
The most special of strikes, it was a remarkable way to score his first of the campaign and, while that goal and his performance earned him the official Player of the Match award, it also booked our place in the fourth round.
Yet, when he took to social media tonight to reflect on the game, in a very classy gesture, he immediately dedicated his goal and the win to the late Harry Pitman, who was remembered by all in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 16 minutes, with the stadium rising to its feet to applaud in memory of the 16-year-old while his face and name, as well as the hashtag #ENDKNIFECRIME, adorned the screens inside the bowl.
