The Telegraph
In a thrilling North London derby, AWED fans watched as Leandro Trossard executed an incredible move that left Pedro Porro “broken in half,” prompting gasps from “the entire stadium.”
Tottenham’s Porro writhed in what seemed to be pain—and perhaps a hint of humiliation—after the Arsenal winger’s impressive twist and turn sent him sprawling.

Trossard remained the focus for the rest of the first half.
Spurs surprisingly took the lead with a goal from Son Heung-Min.
However, Trossard then created a contentious corner that resulted in Dominic Solanke scoring an unintentional own goal, allowing the Gunners to equalize in the 40th minute.
Additionally, the Belgian quickly got himself on the scoresheet, putting Arsenal in front just before halftime.
Nonetheless, it was Trossard’s remarkable “Cruyff turn” that truly captivated the audience.
He sped down the left flank, with his back to Porro, and cleverly fooled the Spaniard.
Porro barely avoided a split as he fell to the ground, grasping at his leg.
One fan noted: “Trossard just might have injured Pedro Porro with that Cruyff turn. The entire stadium gasped. The match was paused to allow him treatment.”
Another stated: “Leandro Trossard just ended Pedro Porro’s career.”
Referee Simon Hooper quickly stopped the game to allow the medical team to attend to the injured Spurs player.

Meanwhile, one fan humorously proposed that the 25-year-old was just dealing with an “embarrassment injury.”
Another chimed in, “Trossard actually broke Porro in half.”
Shortly after, the former Sporting Lisbon player found himself facing off against his Arsenal adversary once more.
TNT Sports analyst Rio Ferdinand commented: “I don’t think he’s gotten over that skill move just yet.”
Ferdinand’s co-host Darren Fletcher added: “The first thing the physio did was untie him.”
