Japhet Tanganga makes double-save against Liverpool on his debut game

Japhet Tanganga produces double-save against Liverpool in the on his debut match played in the 22nd game-week of the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho has given a new name in the Premier League as he handed Japhet Tangana his first Premier League appearance against a club like Liverpool.

The 20-year-old has not disappointed Mourinho with the gamble he has played, as he saved Tottenham Hotspur with a sensational double-save to make his side survive the wrath of the Reds.

Roberto Firmino ran towards goal and skipped past Christian Eriksen before getting a shot in. But his strike was blocked by Tanganga who then got back to his feet and stopped the ball from going to Mohamed Salah with another important block.

The 20-year-old Tottenham player helped his team when their defence was the most vulnerable in the match. Despite it, Liverpool managed to get the better out of the first half of the game.

In the 37th minute of the game, Roberto Firmino scored the opening goal of the game to break the deadlock before the half-time. Still, Tanganga’s goal save is significant, as it could have allowed Liverpool to dominate the whole game considering their form and style.

Regardless of the brilliant performance by the debutant, Liverpool has been dominating the Lilywhites and Spurs are hardly bothering them at the back.

Nevertheless, a certain section of the fans on social media was absolutely impressed by the efforts of Tanganga to save his side and have appreciated Mourinho on his find.
