Tottenham Hotspur defender wrote his name into the club record books during Saturday’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. The summer signing completed 143 passes on his own while also scoring the second goal to seal a third straight league victory.
Crystal Palace completed 151 passes across the entire ninety minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening. Remarkably, Spurs centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke nearly matched the visitors all by himself.
The Dutchman found a teammate 143 times during the 2-0 home victory. That tally sets a new club record for a single Premier League game.
