Tanguy Ndombele described the “perfect” set of circumstances that saw him mark his Premier League debut with a crucial goal at our new stadium on Saturday.

Trailing to newly-promoted Aston Villa on the first day of the 2019/20 campaign we pushed for a leveller in the second period, forcing a succession of corners but without finding a way past the visitors’ newly-signed keeper Tom Heaton.

However, with 73 minutes on the clock, step forward our own new signing!

A summer arrival from French side Lyon, midfielder Tanguy – who had come straight in to start – strode onto Lucas Moura’s backwards pass just outside the box after Heaton had denied Davinson Sanchez and planted a brilliant shot into the far corner.

It was a crucial strike to get us back on level terms and, with deafening support from the stands spurring us on, it proved the catalyst for our victory as Harry Kane bagged his first two goals in our new home to secure a 3-1 triumph and ensure a winning start to the new season – just the way we like it!
