Tottenham Hotspur beat Bournemouth 5-0 this afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has told Football.London that he thinks Kyle Walker-Peters will be ‘very important’ for the club in the future.
Spurs were back in action today after hammering Everton 6-2 on Sunday, and the goals kept flowing against Bournemouth this afternoon.
Walker-Peters remarkably notched three assists in the first half as Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura had Spurs 3-0 up at the break.
Harry Kane hit a fourth and Son grabbed another to seal a 5-0 win for Spurs, taking them up to second place in the Premier League table.
Even with rotation, Spurs showed how dangerous they are, and Walker-Peters really impressed in place of Kieran Trippier at right back.
With Serge Aurier out of action, Walker-Peters has stepped up into first-team reckoning of late, and even started against Barcelona in the Champions League earlier this month.
With three assists today, Walker-Peters has really made a name for himself, and Pochettino admitted that he wasn’t surprised with his youngster’s display – and predicted that he will be ‘very important’ for Spurs in the future,
“It’s no surprise to me,” said Pochettino. “I told you after the match in Barcelona that we really believe in him and he has amazing quality and only needs time to mature and show his quality. I’m so pleased, so happy because I think his quality is going to help the team this season and for the future he’s going to be a very important player for Tottenham,” he added.
