Tottenham Hotspur put in a solid display against Aston Villa in their opening Premier League game of the season, managing to register a 3-1 win, in the end, courtesy of a late flourish.
There were several players who impressed for the home side including debutant Tanguy Ndombele who got the opening goal, Harry Kane who netted a brace and Christian Eriksen who helped Spurs turn the game around after he came on in the second half.
Similarly, there were some players like Erik Lamela and Danny Rose, who were lacklustre and weren’t at their usual level.
However, the performance of one player against Villa seems to be dividing the opinion of Spurs fans on social media – Kyle Walker-Peters.
The 22-year-old was handed a start by Pochettino, and while some fans were impressed with the youngster’s display, others didn’t think he provided enough going forward to be the team’s first choice right back.
Here’s what some Spurs fans tweeted about Walker-Peters’ performance
