RODRIGO BENTANCUR NEWS

Concedes penalty Tuesday Bentancur recorded one cross (zero accurate) and three tackles in Tuesday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 56th minute.

Impact Bentancur conceded a penalty in the 83rd minute Tuesday as he was ruled to be holding Dan Burn on a corner kick following a VAR review. It was a controversial call as both players were all over each other, but regardless it went down as a penalty concession by Bentancur. He contributed fairly well other than that on the defensive end as he won four duels, made three clearances, intercepted three passes and won two tackles in his full 90 minutes of action.

Key cog in midfield Bentancur scored two goals and kept two clean sheets across 26 appearances (21 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Bentancur was in and out of the lineup across the first half of the season, thanks to a couple minor injuries and a seven-match suspension handed to him by the Premier League FA. Once he cleared that suspension and returned from a scary concussion in late January, he became a lock in Spurs' midfield. His contributions don't necessarily show up on the stat sheet - he scored two goals in 26 EPL appearances - he played a key role in build-up play and on the defensive end. He figures to be a key part of Spurs' midfield again next season, in both the Premier League and Champions League.
