Unlikely Tottenham duo come in for praise after West Brom win

Tottenham earned a 2-0 win over struggling West Brom today as a returning Harry Kane helped with a goal.

The England captain has missed Spurs’ last two-and-half matches, and they have lost all those games.

His return was a major boost to a team that hardly functions in his absence, and today he showed just why.

While he makes the headlines for his performance for the team, the likes of Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela made the most of their time in the game.

Both South Americans were surprise starters as Jose Mourinho employed a front four.

They justified their inclusion in the team and ESPN commentator, Ian Darke says they deserve praise for their performances.

After watching the game, he took to Twitter to praise the duo for their role in the club returning to form.

He tweeted: “More like it from Spurs. Kane/Son will get headlines but Lamela/Lucas energy and desire made a difference and Hojbjerg passing sublime. West Brom lost but fantastic fight from their players today.”

After that performance, both players could now start the next game for the team, and that may see the likes of Steven Bergwijn struggle to get back in the side.
