According to Football.London, Tottenham Hotspur fans cheered Djed Spence when he came on as a substitute against Portsmouth at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup in Saturday afternoon.
Tottenham have got the better of Portsmouth 1-0 at home in the FA Cup this afternoon.
England international striker Harry Kane scored the only goal of the match.
It came in the 58th minute.
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte did not field his best starting lineup against Portsmouth, but one player who still could not start was Spence.
The 22-year-old right-back, who reportedly wants to leave Tottenham on loan in the January transfer window, came on as a substitute in the 77th minute for Ryan Sessegnon.

According to Football.London, when the English youngster came on, ‘his introduction was met by a huge cheer from the home fans inside the ground’.
Such a reaction is surely going to encourage the 22-year-old in regard to his long-term future at Tottenham.
Yes, the youngster may have to go out on loan in the January transfer window for playing time, but he could develop into an important player for Tottenham in the coming years.
