Tottenham Hotspur were convincing from back to front in their 5-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.It was a swashbuckling display in attack, with Harry Kane bagging a brace, and Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Moussa Sissoko also getting in on the act.However, there was also a degree of defensive stability on show, which is especially encouraging, as they had not kept a clean sheet in any of their previous seven Premier League games.
Many Spurs fans were delighted with Toby Alderweireld’s performance, as he made four clearances and one interception, as well as winning two aerial duels, per WhoScored.
The 30-year-old was also composed on the ball, completing 85% of the 71 passes that he attempted throughout the game.
His performance was referred to as “top drawer” by one fan, while another demanded the “same hunger and aggression every game”.
There were many fans who struggled to focus solely on the matters on the pitch though, as they told the 30-year-old about their hopes that he will stay with the club.
This comes with his current contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium coming to an end in the summer of 2o2o.
