Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after an eye-catching 14-second clip of Tanguy Ndombele emerged on Sunday evening.

The footage in question shows the France international surging up the pitch at Molineux in the first half of Tottenham’s 1-1 draw against Wolves.

In the clip, Ndombele’s powerful, determined drive sees Ruben Neves, Nelson Semedo and Adama Traore all attempt to stop the former Olympique Lyon maestro.

However, Neves ends up slide-tackling his own teammate in Semedo, while Traore – a man of tremendous pace – is shown a clean pair of heels by the Tottenham No.28.

Sadly, Ndombele arguably makes the wrong choice with his final ball, choosing to slot Sergio Reguilon in when Harry Kane was also free to his right.

However, Reguilon could also be criticised for taking the shot on, when a squared ball to Kane was definitely on.

Ndombele’s mesmeric dribble wasn’t the only good thing he did.

The 24-year-old earned the WhoScored Man of the Match award for his display, in which he recorded two key passes, two dribbles and was fouled on six occasions – he also netted Tottenham’s only goal.
