⚡ Micky van de Ven scored a jaw-dropping solo goal as 10-man Tottenham Hotspur crushed FC Copenhagen 4-0 in the Champions League, delivering one of the most electrifying performances of the season.

 

Tottenham bounced back from a disappointing loss to Chelsea with a statement win at home, despite going down to 10 men early in the second half. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring in the 19th minute, followed by Wilson Odobert’s first Champions League goal. But the moment of the night—and possibly the tournament—came in the 64th minute.

🚀 Van de Ven’s Goal of the Season Contender

With Spurs already 2-0 up and a man down, Micky van de Ven picked up the ball on the edge of his own penalty area and embarked on a blistering run. He beat four Copenhagen players with pace and precision before unleashing a low left-footed strike past goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski. The goal drew comparisons to Heung-Min Son’s Puskás-winning solo effort in 2019 and even Lionel Messi.

Manager Thomas Frank, who had been publicly snubbed by Van de Ven after the Chelsea loss, joked post-match:

> “If he scores goals like that, he can walk past me every time.”
