Garth Crooks has praised Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose on BBC Sport for his performance against Brighton and Hove Albion this past weekend.

Rose featured for Tottenham in their 2-1 win against Brighton away from home in the Premier League this past Saturday evening.

Former Spurs forward Crooks was impressed with the performance of the England international left-back and has included the 28-year-old in his BBC Premier League Team of the Week.

Crooks wrote on BBC Sport about Rose: “Just when I was starting to get concerned, Spurs stop the rot and pull a win out of the bag.

“Danny Rose has also stopped this talk about leaving the club and started looking like a full-back with purpose again.

“When he is on his game this lad is an outstanding performer, and against Brighton he produced the perfect ball for Erik Lamela to smash home the winner.”

Good performance

Rose – who earns £60,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – played well for Tottenham against Brighton and was arguably the best player on the pitch.

The 28-year-old left-back has not played regularly for Spurs for a while, but the England international’s display against the Seagulls will help him convince manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham’s win against Brighton was their first after three successive defeats in all competitions, and it means that they are very much alive in the Premier League title race.
