Kyle Walker-Peters has stated on Instagram that it was a ‘tough battle’ for Tottenham Hotspur as they recorded a 2-2 draw against Manchester City.

Former Spurs academy product, Josh Ononmah, who has since joined Championship promotion hopefuls Fulham, labelled Walker-Peters as a ‘big player’.

Like previous meetings between Manchester City and Tottenham, it was a game that ended in drama as Gabriel Jesus saw his stoppage-time goal chalked off by VAR because of a handball in the build-up to the goal.

Nonetheless, after the game, Walker-Peters admitted that the game at the Etihad was tough, as a number of current players reacted to his message:

Walker-Peters, who earns £20k-a-week at Tottenham [Spotrac], played in a sporadic fashion for Tottenham last season, but it seems as though during this campaign, he might now become a regular.

He has started the first two Premier League games this season and he has started off on the right foot, but he will know he can get better.

The Spurs academy product had his work cut out against City on Saturday because he was up against a plethora of attacking talent, including the in-form Raheem Sterling.
