Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier got some much needed playing time.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier had a fortnight to forget before heading off on international duty.
The right-back was sent off against Southampton before conceding seven goals against Bayern Munich, and looking awful in the process.
Aurier played twice over the past week for Ivory Coast and came away with two wins.
His country beat DR Congo 3-1 on Monday, with Aurier captaining the side in the process.
Days earlier he had started in a 2-1 victory over Tunisia.
The Spurs defender played 90 minutes in both and he seemed pleased with the outcome.
He sent a message out via Instagram saying he had enjoyed ‘a good working week’ ahead of his return to Tottenham.
While he did not keep a clean sheet in either international match, it was important for Aurier to get back to winning ways.
The defender is available for selection this weekend when Spurs face Watford.
