Pedro Porro leads the Premier League in a key stat after his latest assist for Tottenham.
The full-back set up Richarlison to give their side the lead against Leicester on Sunday afternoon.

Porro's goal contribtion was his 23rd in the league since making his debut in February 2023.
During that period, no other defender has had more goals and assists.
Instead, only Trent Alexander-Arnold is tied with Porro for the feat.
The 25-year-old made his Premier League debut two years ago in another clash with Leicester.
On that occasion, Spurs were beaten 4-1 at the King Power Stadium following his arrival from Sporting Lisbon on an initial loan.
The Spaniard's move was then made permanent at the end of the campaign on a deal until the summer of 2030.
Porro's assist on Sunday was his 15th in 72 Premier League appearances, along with eight goals in the competition.
Meanwhile, he has a total of 26 goal contributions in 85 matches across all competitions.
The former Manchester City man has been a key man for Spurs since his arrival in North London.
Across his time at the club, Porro has largely avoided injury, with the two matches he missed with a strain between February and March last year the only time he has been kept out of action.

However, his landmark assist against the Foxes on Sunday was largely overshadowed by the visitors' second half turnaround.
Jamie Vardy equalised for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side within a minute of the restart before Bilal El Khannouss added a second four minutes later.
The defeat means Spurs remain eight points above the relegation zone in 15th place.
Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou's poor recent run of results now stands at one win in 11 league matches since the start of December.
