“The person you least expect”The 21-year-old Spurs starlet stunned BBC pundits with his performance against Newcastle.
Pat Nevin has said that he did not anticipate Destiny Udogie to score Tottenham Hotspur’s first goal against Newcastle United on Sunday.
Just after the halftime break at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Italian broke the deadlock. Nevin was speaking on BBC Radio Five Live at the time.
In the match against the Magpies, Destiny Udogie scored the first goal for the Spurs. And Son Heung-min’s outstanding work in and around the Newcastle penalty area was the main factor in it all.
Son passed across the six-yard line after outmuscling Kieran Trippier. And it was Udogie who was there to give Spurs the lead with a tap-in.
This season, Tottenham’s full-backs have had a huge impact. Nevin was still shocked that the 21-year-old was the one to take advantage of the opportunity, though.
“You were aware of Son’s plans. Nothing you do will stop it,” he stated on BBC Radio Five Live.
The last person you would expect to see there is Udogie. He does it flawlessly. Spurs’ well-deserved victory.
Against Newcastle in the opening half, Udogie was unstoppable. The Magpies have experienced numerous injury problems. And the guys of Ange Postecoglou took full advantage of that.
That being said, Tottenham’s team has also been completely destroyed. Additionally, they have recently had a dismal run of form.
In spite of this, Spurs started Sunday’s game at an exciting peak. They served as a perfect reminder to everyone of why they were the team to beat in the first few months of the Premier League.

Furthermore, Udogie was a person with a valid argument to make. West Ham’s late victory throughout the week was the result of his error.
Thus, he would have been overjoyed to make up for his miscalculation and start the scoring this weekend against Eddie Howe’s team.
