‘Monster’, ‘Beast mode’ – Tottenham fans loving the first-half display of one man v Juventus
Tottenham played their part in an absolutely fantastic first half at Wembley as two European giants battled each other for a place in the Champions League quarter-finals, and fans were in awe of centre-back Davinson Sanchez.
While the Tottenham attackers gave the Juventus defenders a hard time, with Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane nearly scoring, Juventus were making things tough for Spurs too.
Jan Vertonghen was lucky not to give away a penalty after clearly fouling Douglas Costa.
Remarkably, none of the officials spotted what was a clear penalty.
His partner at the heart of the Tottenham defence was Sanchez and he put in a brilliant display which had fans comparing him to Ledley King.
And the rock-solid defence gave Tottenham the platform to go and score the hugely important first goal in the 38th minute through Heung-Min Son.
Spurs fans are hoping that Sanchez can continue to repel the Juventus attack and they took to Twitter to hail their defensive hero:
