According to The Guardian Football, Parrott's current run is all the more impressive given his development has been anything but straightforward. The 24-year-old was once given the classic Mourinho treatment and declared "not ready" by his former manager at Tottenham. However, he has since found success in the Netherlands, where he smashed in 51 goals across 97 games for AZ. His high-profile international hat-trick last year was enough to persuade Betis to fork out £17m for him this summer.
Parrott's refusal to sulk is also a key factor in his current success. After coming off the bench in the 68th minute against Madrid, he reacted quickest to a Thibaut Courtois parry, shoving the ball into the net from close range. He also pounced on some poor defending by Nathan Ngoy to fire a low effort into the far corner in a thrilling 3-2 win against Lille.
With four appearances, two goals, and two winners, Parrott is making a strong case for himself as a key player for Real Betis. Meanwhile, Tottenham sit in the Premier League's bottom three still waiting for their first league goal.
