Savio scores on debut as Spurs set-up League Cup tie with Liverpool
Brazilian winger Savio, signed for a reported £75 million, finds the net in a 5-1 win over Charlton to reach the third round.
Savio scored his first goal for Tottenham in a 5-1 League Cup win over Charlton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The match, which took place on Wednesday, saw the home side take control early with goals from Mikey Moore and Dominic Solanke in quick succession. Substitute Kevin Danso added to the score with a header from a free-kick in the 67th minute.
Brazilian winger Savio, who joined Spurs for £75 million, came on as a substitute in the 71st minute and scored two goals, including the decisive fifth. Charlton did manage to equalize through defender Lloyd Jones' header from a corner. The nine Premier League teams competing in Europe - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Sunderland - will all face each other in the third round of the League Cup after Wednesday's games.
The draw for those matches took place following the Charlton game, with Spurs facing Liverpool in one of the possible six all-Premier League ties. Manchester United will play Brighton, while Chelsea will face Leeds if Xabi Alonso's side advance past Luton on Thursday. Premier League champions Arsenal will travel to Ipswich, and League Cup holders Manchester City will host Norwich.
