In a thrilling North London derby, AWED supporters watched in awe as Leandro Trossard executed a stunning move that left Pedro Porro feeling “broken in half,” prompting gasps from “the entire stadium.”
Tottenham‘s Porro writhed in apparent agony—and maybe a hint of humiliation—after the Arsenal winger’s spectacular twist and turn brought him down.

Trossard continued to capture attention throughout the remainder of the first half.
Spurs initially took the lead with a goal from Son Heung-Min.
However, Trossard later created a questionable corner that resulted in Dominic Solanke scoring an own goal, enabling the Gunners to level the score in the 40th minute.
Furthermore, the Belgian quickly found the back of the net himself, putting Arsenal ahead before halftime.
Yet, it was Trossard’s breathtaking “Cruyff turn” that truly captivated the spectators.
He sprinted down the left flank, back facing Porro, and expertly outmaneuvered the Spaniard.
Porro narrowly avoided performing a split as he fell to the ground, clutching his leg.
One fan noted: “Trossard may have just injured Pedro Porro with that Cruyff turn. It felt like the whole stadium gasped. The game paused to provide him with treatment.”
Another remarked: “Leandro Trossard might have just ended Pedro Porro’s career.”
Referee Simon Hooper promptly stopped the match to allow care for the injured Spurs player.

Yet, one fan jokingly suggested that the 25-year-old was simply suffering from an “embarrassment injury.”
Another added, “Trossard genuinely broke Porro in half.”
Shortly afterwards, the former Sporting Lisbon player faced his Arsenal rival again.
TNT Sports analyst Rio Ferdinand commented: “I’m not sure he’s fully recovered from that skill move just yet.”
Ferdinand’s co-host Darren Fletcher chimed in, “The first thing the physio did was untie him.”
