Giovani Lo Celso has suggested to Tottenham Hotspur’s official Twitter account that he is ‘very happy’ after making his first start for the club last night.

Lo Celso impressed on his full debut for Tottenham, as he set them on their way to a 4-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade.

The Argentine finished after a huge scramble in the box, as Spurs put in an impressive performance in Serbia.

Tottenham had looked low on confidence going into the match, but they showed no signs of poor form in Belgrade.

And Lo Celso suggested after the group that he thought the victory put Tottenham in a good position to progress from their group.

“I am very happy because of this win and to play in such a big atmosphere,” Lo Celso said. “We are in a good position in the group now.”

Spurs can now seal their place in the knockout stages of the competition if they are able to beat Olympiacos in the next round of Champions League matches.

Lo Celso will hope that his impressive performance last night could keep him in Tottenham’s team for the weekend.

There is a hope from many Tottenham fans that Lo Celso will replace Christian Eriksen in Spurs’s regular line-up, but it remains to be seen whether Mauricio Pochettino will opt to rotate on Saturday.

Spurs’s next match comes against Sheffield United, who have started well since their promotion to the Premier League.
