From the source

A third win on the bounce was capped off by a rather exhilarating Lucá Williams-Barnett cameo, with Tottenham's "diamond" requiring just a few minutes to showcase to a wider audience why there's such excitement surrounding the teenager's talent.

Williams-Barnett has made a mockery of youth football in recent years, and a strong pre-season suggested he was ready to at least be a part of Roberto De Zerbi's squad, despite the swathe of new additions.

The 18-year-old is an elegant but destructive playmaker who surely sees his future as a No. De Zerbi thrust him out to the left late on against Crystal Palace, producing a dazzling dribbling sequence that should've earned him a first Premier League assist on debut.
