Serge Aurier committed three foul throws for Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Speaking to Football London, Mauricio Pochettino has promised that Tottenham Hotspur right-back Serge Aurier won’t be penalised for any more foul throws after Sunday’s incidents.
Aurier, a summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain, was penalised for no fewer than three foul throws in the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace last weekend.
In doing so, the Ivorian defender became the first Premier League player in history to breach this offence on three occasions in a single game.
One is bad enough, but three is simply bizarre and Pochettino tells Football London that he has handled the situation.
He said: “We smile because we took three points. But of course it’s a situation when we talked, we showed him and it’s a thing to be focused on. Be sure it’s not going to happen again….I hope.”
Not only that, but it was a pretty dismal showing overall from Aurier, who has slammed by Lilywhites supporters for his performance after the game.
And maybe, just maybe, the Spurs manager will consider rotating him out of the first XI shortly.
Some £23 million was paid on bringing him to North London and, well, he hasn’t been a roaring success it must be said. Aurier isn’t better than Kyle Walker but, that being said, he is only 25 and will surely improve over the course of his spell in the capital.
