Tottenham fans react on Twitter to Janssen display against Palace
By London correspondent Tony Hughes
Vincent Janssen was handed his first competitive Tottenham start in the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday – and fans were delighted with his display.
The £19million summer signing from AZ Alkmaar was selected in the starting X1 as Mauricio Pochettino sprung a surprise by axing Dele Alli.
Janssen was not able to celebrate his first full start with a goal but played the entire 90 minutes and was a consistent threat at the point of the attack.
The Holland international’s presence meant Harry Kane often dropped deeper into a second striker role but Spurs were able to dominate play and create the better of the chances.
Supporters were impressed by Janssen’s contribution and are convinced the 22-year-old has added another dimension to the front line.
Here are a selection of the messages from Spurs fans on Twitter:
