Jamie O’Hara has praised Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on Twitter for his performance against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the North London derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday evening.
The former Tottenham player and talkSPORT believes that Tottenham midfielder Hojbjerg played like a man possessed against Arsenal in the Premier League games.
Spurs won the North London derby 3-0.
Praise for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg for Tottenham v Arsenal
Much has been made about Harry Kane and Son Heung-min and their goals for Tottenham against Arsenal.
The two forward were really very good, but, as O’Hara points out, midfielder Hojbjerg was brilliant as well.
The Denmark international is not the most glamorous of players, but the midfielder does his work quietly and efficiently for Tottenham.
And that is a big reason why Hojbjerg is a regular in the Tottenham team under head coach Antonio Conte.
Hojbjerg was a huge figure in the middle of the park against Arsenal in the North London derby and imposed himself on the game.
The Dane won some big tackles and stopped Arsenal from playing their game.
If Tottenham end up in the Premier League top four this season, then, in our view, Hojbjerg will be a big hero.
