Tottenham Hotspur are through to the FA Cup quarter-finals after their weekend win.
Former Tottenham Hotspur player Micky Hazard has taken to Twitter to praise the performance of Spurs midfielder Harry Winks in their 3-0 victory against Fulham.
Tottenham ran out comfortable winners in their FA Cup fifth round tie, putting the disappointment of their Europa League loss behind them and giving them confidence heading into the second leg.
While Harry Kane took the plaudits with a hat-trick, Winks was brilliant in the centre of the park, proving categorically why he is rated so highly at White Hart Lane.
Writing on social media shortly before the final whistle, Hazard said, “For me it is Winks’ best game in a Spurs shirt, super performance.”
Hazard also reserved praise for right-back Kieran Trippier, who continues to impress when he is given a chance in place of Kyle Walker.
Winks recently signed a new long-term deal at Spurs and on this evidence he will soon be playing week in, week out despite the competition for places in Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield.
He has a maturity that belies his age and ability and composure on the ball that simply cannot be taught.
Winks may be young, but not for the first time in recent years Tottenham know they have the real deal.
