‘Brilliant Bryan Gil’ – Some fans react to Spurs’ first-half performance vs Pacos

August 26, 2021

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to share their reactions to the performance during the first half of the Europa Conference League tie against Pacos de Ferreira.

Tottenham started the evening 1-0 down on aggregate following last Thursday’s defeat in Portugal, however, it has been a much better performance from the North Londoners with Nuno Espirito Santo playing a stronger side.

Harry Kane, who made his first start of the season has grabbed the headlines for all of the right reasons after netting a brace during the opening period.

The 28-year-old broke the deadlock after nine minutes with a close-range effort and doubled his tally on thirty-five minutes with a goal from a similar distance to put Spurs ahead in the tie for the first time.

Bryan Gil has also gone close, only to be denied by the woodwork while Pierluigi Gollini has rarely been troubled in goal.

Here is how some of the fans have reacted to the display under the lights in North London.

Not great opposition, but playing well, lucas, gill, sess, playing well, lo celso looking better, even winks has played decent, Doherty and Davies only two struggling

Very impressed with Gill, great first touch and keeps the ball close, drops his shoulder – reminds me of Modric
