Tottenham fans have reacted on Twitter to Juan Foyth’s performance during Villarreal’s UEFA Super Cup defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday.
The Europa League champions clashed horns with the Champions League winners in Belfast, with a number of ex-Tottenham players lining up in the team.
Étienne Capoue was one of those players in the XI, including the man they sold to the Spanish club this summer in Foyth.
Thomas Tuchel’s side took the lead in Northern Ireland through a close-range finish from Hakim Ziyech, before a second-half goal from Gerard Moreno forced the game to extra time and then penalties.
Foyth did his job and dispatched his spot-kick during the shootout but Kepa in between the sticks, who was brought on in the 119th minute, was the hero of the night.
Despite a defeat for Villarreal’, the Spurs supporters very much liked what they saw from Foyth.
During his days in North London, the 23-year-old would play at centre-back and at right-back, as Unai Emery is deploying him as a right-sided fullback.
Spurs supporters made it clear that he would get into their XI now, especially at fullback, which is a problem area for them.
Matt Doherty struggled in his debut campaign at Spurs, and perhaps paved the way for Foyth to leave on loan last summer, whilst Serge Aurier has been error-prone since the day he arrived.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Spurs fans reacting to Foyth’s performance against Chelsea last night:
