Tottenham Hotspur’s full-back received accolades from Clinton Morrison during Spurs’ FA Cup third-round clash with Burnley on Friday night. Speaking on Radio 5 Live, the BBC Sport pundit praised the 21-year-old Spurs talent alongside eventual match-winner Pedro Porro for their significant impact on the game.

Ange Postecoglou’s team triumphed over Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to secure a berth in the fourth round of the competition. While it wasn’t a vintage performance from either side, a moment of brilliance in the 78th minute made the difference for the Premier League opponents.

Porro’s remarkable winner garnered attention, but Udogie also left a mark with another solid display. The energetic 20-year-old showcased strong defensive skills, while also contributing effectively in the attacking phase, demonstrating an impressive link-up with Brennan Johnson.

“Tottenham’s full backs Udogie and Porro will be crucial in this second half,” Morrison remarked on Radio 5 Live via the BBC Sport website, shortly after the second half commenced. He emphasized, “Everything positive going forward seems to go through them (the full-backs). Inverting into midfield at times, they cause so many problems.”

Udogie’s early success at just 21 years of age has solidified his place in Spurs’ starting lineup, proving his mettle in the Premier League. His growth under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou bodes well for his future, raising anticipation for his potential as a stellar talent on the rise at Tottenham.
