Tottenham’s Pedro Porro has a unique 87-game streak that only one man in history can beat

A niche stat has emerged about Pedro Porro’s Premier League career, one that underlines just how rare it is to see Tottenham involved in a goalless draw.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a solid start to the new Premier League season, with Thomas Frank’s men securing three wins from their opening four fixtures.

The Lilywhites currently sit third in the Premier League table, with only Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of them after the opening rounds.

It has been an impressive effort from the squad as a whole, with Spurs keeping three clean sheets, conceding just once and scoring eight goals across the campaign so far.

Pedro Porro stat revealed as Tottenham right back continues run

Pedro Porro has been an ever-present for Tottenham this season, often deployed at right back, and while there have been struggles when faced with tricky wingers who have managed to dribble past Porro on occasions, he has still maintained his position as the club’s first-choice option since signing from Sporting CP.

TNT Sports has now highlighted an unusual statistic involving the Spanish full-back. According to the outlet, Pedro Porro has never been involved in a goalless draw in his 87 Premier League appearances for Tottenham.

That figure is the second-longest start to a Premier League career without a 0-0 draw, with Manchester United’s Mikael Silvestre holding the record at 134 matches.

Tottenham rarely involved in 0-0 draws

Tottenham have undergone several changes since Pedro Porro arrived, with the defender playing under Antonio Conte, Ange Postecoglou and now Thomas Frank.

Porro has held the right back role throughout much of his time at the club, particularly during Postecoglou’s tenure, when the Australian often utilised the full back in an inverted role to affect play from deeper positions.

It might appear unusual given Tottenham’s inconsistency over recent seasons, but this stat only reinforces the point that Spurs are rarely involved in stalemates.

To add to that, in Ange Postecoglou’s first season at the helm at Tottenham, the Australian set a record of avoiding stalemates at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the 23/24 season – a feat no other club in the league managed.
