Sávio Scores on Tottenham Debut to Help Thrash Charlton in Carabao Cup Tottenham Hotspur’s newly signed Brazilian forward Sávio made an immediate impact on his debut, scoring twice in a 5-1 Carabao Cup victory over Charlton Athletic. The 22-year-old, who joined the club for £85 million ($116 million) from Manchester City, came off the bench in the 71st minute and quickly made himself a fan favorite with his goal-scoring prowess. His first goal came in the 82nd minute with a low, curling strike into the bottom corner, followed by a second just three minutes later after a mesmerizing run and finish. The performance earned him widespread praise and a new celebration song from Spurs’ supporters. The win marked a significant rebound for manager Roberto De Zerbi’s team, which had suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brentford in their opening Premier League match of the season. Tottenham’s attacking trio of Mikey Moore, Dominic Solanke, and Kevin Danso also contributed to the rout, with Moore opening the scoring in the 41st minute after a solo run and left-footed strike. Solanke doubled the lead with a clinical finish following a corner, while Danso netted his first goal for the club in the 68th minute after nodding in a free kick from Mateus Fernandes. Charlton’s woes were compounded by injuries, as defender Collins Sichenje was stretchered off in the 15th minute with a suspected knee injury and Billy Koumetio limped off shortly after. Despite their early struggles, Charlton managed a consolation goal in the 89th minute through Lloyd Jones, who headed in from a corner. Sávio’s display was a testament to his adaptability, as he quickly integrated into the team despite limited playing time.#tottenham_hotspur #charlton_athletic #roberto_de_zerbi #mikey_moore #svio
