Savio scores on debut as Spurs bounce back to beat Charlton

Savio, the newly acquired Tottenham winger, scored on his debut for the club as they triumphed over Charlton Athletic with a final score of 4-0. The Brazilian forward was brought on as a substitute in the 71st minute, following Tottenham's commanding 3-0 lead. After a brief moment of celebration by lifting a corner flag, Savio netted his side's fourth goal after 11 minutes on the pitch. His performance was met with a standing ovation from the crowd.

The win, secured at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, allows Tottenham to advance to the next round of the Carabao Cup, where they will face Liverpool. The match began with two goals in quick succession towards the end of the first half, putting Charlton in control. However, Mikey Moore, making his first appearance in a Spurs shirt since January, broke the deadlock in the 41st minute. Dominic Solanke added a second goal in the 45th minute.

Roberto De Zerbi made five substitutions in response to Charlton's extensive lineup changes, with Mateus Fernandes making his debut. Kevin Danso scored the third goal from a Fernandes free-kick in the 67th minute. Despite suffering injuries, the Addicks managed to get two shots on goal before being overpowered by Tottenham's attack, who have spent over £300 million on new players in the summer.
