Pedro Porro
It does not feel like an exaggeration to say that Porro had his best performance of the season here. After a bright start to the campaign, the defender had definitely gone off the boil ahead of the previous international break.
During that break, the 25-year old had a really good game for Spain against Denmark in the nations league. We suggested that could be a catalyst for an upturn in form, and it has proven that way. An absolutely brilliantly taken goal, with a finish that a striker would have been happy with.
This was not an example of a goal papering over cracks though, it was a great overall performance from Porro, who made seven clearances as he continues to improve defensively. As always, his technique in build up was important. Let’s keep it going.
