Goal and assist Tuesday
Palhinha scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-0 win versus FC Copenhagen.
ANALYSIS
Palhinha did not start Tuesday's match, but that didn't stop him from impacting the match greatly. He assisted Micky van de Ven's wonder goal in the 64th minute, then scored a goal of his own three minutes later off a Cristian Romero assist. They marked his first two goal contributions in the Champions League this season, to go along with his three Premier League goal contributions thus far. He has only started one of four UCL matches so far this season, likely to keep his legs fresh for the Premier League schedule. However once more important UCL matches start popping up, he will likely find his way back into the starting XI.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join Spurs permanently
Tottenham want to sign Joao Palhinha to a permanent contract, according to TALKSport.
ANALYSIS
Palhinha has enjoyed an excellent start to life at Tottenham and is keen on staying with the club. Bayern would also be open to letting him leave, as he never adjusted to life in Germany. Sounds as if a permanent transfer from Bayern to Spurs would be a move that would satisfy all parties.
