Emmanuel Adebayor received a warm ovation from the Tottenham supporters who traveled to Newcastle for the 26th round of the Premier League, and he certainly delivered a stellar performance.
The Togolese striker scored twice during the match, and one of his shots on target led to Paulinho’s goal, followed by Chadli’s brilliant finish to cap off the festival.
Tottenham coach Tim Sherwood had nothing but praise for Adebayor, describing him as “fantastic” after the emphatic 4-0 victory.
The statistics further highlight Adebayor’s impact since his return to the team. With 12 shots on target, he has scored 8 goals in just 11 matches this season. Since Sherwood took charge in mid-December, Adebayor has provided two assists and has been instrumental in Tottenham’s impressive record of 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 defeat in 10 matches, amounting to a remarkable 77% win rate.
Since his resurgence, Tottenham have been scoring at an impressive rate, averaging 2.1 goals per game, with Adebayor playing a key role in their attacking prowess. Additionally, Tottenham have accumulated 23 points out of a possible 30 in the Premier League since Sherwood’s appointment, demonstrating the significant impact Adebayor has had on the team’s success.
It was indeed a memorable performance by Adebayor, and fans can relive his goals against Newcastle to appreciate his contribution even more.
