Remember: Tony Pulis didn’t rate Serge Gnabry.
The winger, who had a forgettable loan spell with West Bromwich Albion during the 2015-16 season, scored four goals as Bayern Munich romped to a 7-2 evisceration of Tottenham Hotspur in Tuesday’s Champions League action.
Here are the craziest statistics from the north London leveling:
1 – Tottenham are the first English outfit to concede seven goals in a European competition since … Tottenham. In July 1995, Gerry Francis’ Spurs lost 8-0 to FC Koln in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
2 – Gnabry is the second German to score four or more goals in a Champions League match, following in the sizable footsteps of Mario Gomez (versus FC Basel in March 2012).
4 – In one match, Gnabry moved level with Harry Kane for goals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs began playing at their new home in April 2019.
5 – Spurs suffered the greatest margin of defeat by an English club playing at home in any European competition.
7 – Tottenham Hotspur have conceded seven goals in a home match for the very first time in any major competition. Embarrassed. pic.twitter.com/3Yh8WarA7S
