Porro smashed the ball past Gavin Bazunu

Porro put Spurs in front with a fine strike that just clipped the underside of the crossbar.

Heung-min Son made the goal after some brilliant play down the left-hand side before finding Porro in acres of space with a cutting pass.

One on one with the goalkeeper, the defender leathered the ball with power high into the roof of the goal.

It smashed the crossbar before going in and led to wild celebrations from the 23-year-old with his teammates, before they were able to celebrate another account opening.

Che Adams equalised and then Harry Kane, who has scored for Tottenham more times than anyone else, put restored the lead.

Despite signing in the summer, Ivan Perisic grabbed his first goal for the club to put Spurs 3-1 up.

However, Spurs collapsed and dropped two points as ex-Arsenal star Theo Walcott pulled one back and James Ward Prowse netted a late penalty.
