Tottenham fans took to Twitter to hail Serge Aurier for his performance in their team’s 2-0 Premier League win against Huddersfield at Wembley on Saturday.

Two Son Heung-Min goal, one in either half, denied the relegation strugglers their third consecutive league win as Spurs prepared perfectly for next Wednesday’s Champions League showdown against Juventus.

The triumph lifted Spurs to third in the Premier League table, although Liverpool will climb back above them if they secure at least a draw against Newcastle United in the 5.30pm kick-off.

Tottenham’s win came after Mauricio Pochettino had made nine changes from the side that beat League One minnows Rochdale 6-1 in midweek.

Aurier was one of those reinstated in the starting XI after being suspended for the FA Cup replay, in which Kieran Trippier was used at right-back.

The Ivory Coast international started a second consecutive Premier League match after the embarrassment of the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, when he secured an unwanted record by becoming the first player in the competition to take three foul throw-ins during the same match.

Spurs fans were impressed by the performance of Aurier as they hailed a “miles better” performance from a “different player to the guy who played vs Palace” six days earlier.
