Winks shows “unbelievable” goal for Tottenham

Boyhood Tottenham fan Harry Winks admits he was lost for words after scoring on his full Premier League debut in Spurs’ last-gasp 3-2 win over West Ham.

Winks, who joined the club’s academy aged 16, has had to wait four years for his first start in the league and he certainly made it count by tapping in a second-half equaliser at White Hart Lane.

Also in the bundle of blue and white was Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has shown great faith in Winks, handing the 20-year-old nine appearances already this season.

After scoring, Winks ran over to Pochettino and the pair shared a warm embrace on the touchline.

Winks had cancelled out Michail Antonio’s opener but West Ham looked on course for a surprise win when Manuel Lanzini restored the visitors’ lead with a penalty.

While unbeaten Tottenham move to within three points of the top of the table, West Ham remain 17th and only one point above the relegation zone.
