Graham Roberts has paid tribute to the “superb” Ben Davies on Twitter.

The Wales left-back helped Tottenham Hotspur to an emphatic 4-0 win away to Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.

The 24-year-old is slowly but surely winning over Tottenham fans this season after initially struggling to win their affections when he replaced the injured Danny Rose in the second half of last term.

But Davies, who joined Spurs from Swansea City in 2014, has barely put a foot wrong so far this season, and Lilywhites legend Roberts felt obliged to praise him.

Tottenham briefly moved within two points of co-leaders Manchester United and Manchester City by thumping the Terriers, though both sides restored their five-point cushion over third-placed Spurs later in the afternoon.

Still, it’s been a fantastic start to the campaign for the Lilywhites and there is every chance that they will be in contention for the Premier League title again come May – and especially if Harry Kane maintains his ridiculous run of form.

The 24-year-old striker scored twice on Saturday to make it 11 goals from six games in all competitions.
