Impact Bentancur scored the final two goals of the match within two minutes of each other (81', 83') and sealed the exciting, comeback victory for Spurs.

Impact Bentancur added two assists, moving to four in 17 appearances for Tottenham. The midfielder came off injured shortly after his second assist and was replaced by Harry Winks.

Bentancur will have limited fantasy upside in 2022/23 simply due to his generally defensive role in midfield.
