Tottenham Hotspur had to wait a while to get back in action, but they did so in winning fashion on Saturday.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs lost to Wolves two weeks ago and, with last week’s Chelsea game being postponed, they’ve had to wait a fortnight until playing again.
Tottenham hosted Crystal Palace in North London and ran out 3-1 winners, coming from behind to sweep the Eagles away.
Palace opened the scoring in the 59th minute through a superb Eberechi Eze free kick, which left Spurs fans dreading a repeat of the Wolves result.
However, Tottenham equalised in the 77th minute through Timo Werner and never looked back, with Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min also getting on the scoresheet.
After such a good result, you tend to see players taking to social media to celebrate the victory, and Pedro Porro did just that a few hours after full-time.
The 24-year-old – who missed the game through injury – took to Instagram with the caption ‘3 points + N17 + the best center back in the world’, with Romero also in one of the pictures.
In response, Romero replied in the comments with ‘brother’ and ‘how I love you’.
Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro shining for Tottenham
Both Romero and Porro have been crucial players for Spurs under Postecoglou, helping transform a previously rickety defence into a mean machine.
Obviously there will be hitches along the way, but the improvements Tottenham have made in Postecoglou’s maiden season have been huge.
It’ll be exciting to see how things develop with another summer transfer window under his belt.
