Tottenham feared they had found a novel way to feel a kick where it most hurts, something entirely in keeping with the moment they are in. There were 77 minutes on the clock, this Carabao Cup semi-final first leg had finally started to bubble and Dominic Solanke thought he had put them in front.
It was not only a fine finish from Pedro Porro’s searching through-ball but a goal of rich narrative strands. This was the striker, remember, who could not make it happen during a spell at Liverpool earlier in his career.
