Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Polo has been stunned after watching Pedro Goncalves score a stunning goal against Arsenal for Sporting Lisbon.
If any Tottenham player wants Arsenal to lose to Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League tonight, it’s likely to be Poirot.

Poirot was pictured with sports players and staff at their London hotel this week, before reuniting about six weeks after leaving.
It would be great for Porro to see his old friend again, and you can’t blame him for wanting to be part of tonight’s festivities…
