MICKY VAN DE VEN scored a quite ridiculous solo goal for Tottenham – which started on the edge of his OWN box and saw him run 65 YARDS.
The speedy Dutchman left at least FOUR Copenhagen players for dead before curling a stunning left-footed finish into the corner.
It was reminiscent of Son Heung-min‘s fine individual effort against Burnley in December 2019, which saw him bag the Puskas award.
Van de Ven is known for his incredible pace but even by his rapid standards this was exceptional.
Rodrigo Bentancur started it off by winning it back just outside Spurs’ 18-yard box.
But after that it was down to the centre-back.

Tottenham star Brennan Johnson sent off for reckless tackle in Copenhagen clash
He picked up the ball and ran at lightning pace through the middle of a helpless Copenhagen, who did not stand a chance of stopping him.
Van de Ven then turned down the chance to give Kolo Muani, who was completely unmarked, his first Tottenham goal, as he went alone and confidently made it 3-0.
Perhaps we should not be so surprised by his finishing touch in front of goal because this season his SIXTH Spurs goal of the season, double any of his team-mates.
Brennan Johnson had scored on 19 minutes – but was then sent off in the second half for a crude tackle.
Wilson Odobert didn’t let having a man sent off affect the home side by scoring a second, before Van de Ven’s brilliance.
Sub Joao Palhinha bagged the fourth, and there was even time for Richarlison to see an injury-time penalty blaze off the crossbar.
