Tottenham Hotspur legend Graham Roberts has singled out the “excellent” Davinson Sanchez for praise.

The 21-year-old returned from a three-match ban to help Tottenham to a 3-0 win away to Burnley on Saturday evening.

Roberts was full of praise for Harry Kane, whose hat-trick saw him equal Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 36 goals in a calendar year.

But the former Spurs man also acknowledged the £42 million centre-back whose defensive performance helped the Lilywhites to a clean sheet.

It was a very good win for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who were favourites but the fact that the Clarets were ahead of Tottenham before kickoff should illustrate how the Turf Moor side are no pushovers.

Consequence of the victory, Spurs leapfrogged Arsenal on goal difference into fifth place, one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
