Harry Winks scored a stunning 56-yard goal in Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Ludogorets in Thursday’s Europa League tie.
Midway through the second half, with the North Londoners leading 2-0, the Spurs midfielder collected the ball from a Ben Davies throw-in before launching goalkeeper Plamen Iliev from inside his own half.
He is not sure if Winks intended to go for goal, as the ball went in the direction of Tottenham’s Gareth Bale, who had entered behind Ludogorets’ defense.
The goal was not only Winks’ first of the season, it also sealed a relatively easy challenge presented by Ludogorets for José Mourinho’s team.
Spurs already held a two-goal lead of Carlos Vinicius’ first two goals at Tottenham white, with exiled midfielder Dele Alli providing assists for both efforts.
Brazilian winger Lucas Moura crashed in the fourth after Winks’ spectacular effort in the second half.
The Spurs also gave the opportunity to rest some of the stars of the first team such as Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris and Son Heung-Min, with players like Alfie Whiteman, Jack Clarke, Dane Scarlett and Harvey White coming off the bench on the side of Mourinho.
The victory sees Tottenham tied with Group J leader Royal Antwerp at the top of the table with nine points, with Austrian club LASK just three points behind Spurs with two games to play.
Mourinho’s men will face LASK next Thursday, which will go a long way in deciding the outcome of the knockout qualifier, before meeting Antwerp in the second week of December to complete the group.
