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.

While Janssen should have scored when 1v1, if he had netted it would have been the complete No.9 performance. Thought he was excellent #COYS

Many quick to draw comparisons to Soldado after Janssen’s miss, intelligent fans will know goals will come likewise with Kane. #COYS#THFC
