Savio scores on debut as Spurs set-up League Cup tie with Liverpool

On Wednesday, Tottenham Hotspur secured a 5-1 victory over Charlton at their home ground, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This win not only showcased the team's strong performance but also marked Savio's debut for the club. The Brazilian winger, who joined Spurs for an estimated £75 million, came on as a substitute in the 71st minute and quickly made his impact felt.

Within four minutes, Savio scored his first professional goal, dribbling past two defenders before scoring with a shot into the near post. His second goal followed shortly after, as his deflected shot found the back of the net after a flick from captain Ben Davies. Despite Charlton managing a consolation goal through Lloyd Jones, Spurs secured their place in the third round of the League Cup.

The draw for the third-round matches, including Spurs' tie against Liverpool, took place following the match results.
