Xavi Simons Shines In Spurs Debut With First Assist As Pape Matar Sarr Finds The Net Again

Xavi Simons made his Tottenham Hotspur debut memorable by providing his first assist for the club, setting up Pape Matar Sarr to score yet another important goal in the Premier League clash against West Ham United.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Simons made an immediate impact on his debut on September 13, 2025, before assisting Pape Matar Sarr to open the scoring against West Ham United in an important Premier League clash. As confirmed by reports, Tottenham started the 2025/26 Premier League season with two wins and only one defeat from their opening three matches, and Simons’ addition provided Mauricio Pochettino’s team with an extra bit of creativity.

The 22-year-old midfielder neatly delivered a set-piece from the left of West Ham’s penalty box which found Sarr inside the box. The Senegal international leapt high for a header and converted the chance into a goal.

Sarr’s goal is yet another testament to his skills and goalscoring ability. This was his third of the ongoing season already as he continues to shine for the north London giants in the Premier League.

WHAT NEXT

While Chelsea await their fate after being charged by the FA for their players’ behaviour during their 2-2 draw against Brentford on Saturday, Tottenham will be looking to overtake Manchester United and climb to the league’s top 3. As noted in recent updates, Simons’ debut will play an important part in his manager Frank’s plans.

Spurs will be back in action in the mid-week when they play Villarreal for the Champions League opener before traveling to Old Trafford to play Manchester United next weekend.
