Stunning moment from Xavi Simons in the match 'Tottenham' - 'Leeds'

According to The Sun: Xavi Simons amazed Tottenham fans with his unusual attempt at a pass via rabona, which ended in failure.

The Dutchman found himself free at the edge of the Leeds penalty area during the second half of the Premier League match at Elland Road.

Although he had passing options to Cristian Romero and Matheus Tella, he decided to take a risk and attempt a strike with his right foot through his thigh.

The result was disappointing: the ball simply rolled to defender Joe Rodon.

Fans of Tottenham reacted with outrage, as at that moment the score was tied 1-1, and the game had only just resumed a few minutes after the start of the second half.

“Xavi Simons, you are not Erik Lamela. Please, don't do that again.”

“What was Xavi Simons thinking?”

“Xavi Simons - what an idiot. What was that???!”

“You don't have 'rabona' in your arsenal, Xavi Simons.”

Fortunately, Simons was able to redeem himself when Mohammed Kudus gave Tottenham the lead just five minutes after his failed trick.

This moment highlighted the courage of the young footballer and his desire to impress the fans. Despite the failure, the team was supported and given a chance to return to the game, making football so unpredictable and exciting.
