Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter are praising Fernando Llorente.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side thrashed Huddersfield 4-0 in North London on Saturday afternoon.

Victor Wanyama opened the scoring, before Lucas Moura scored Tottenham’s other three goals to win Man of the Match.

With Harry Kane absent through injury, Lucas started up front alongside the big Spanish striker and although Llorente wasn’t among the goalscorers, he did set up Wanyama’s opener and looked a general threat to the Terriers all afternoon.

His physical presence made it awkward for the visiting defence, and here’s how Tottenham fans reacted to his performance:

It was the Spaniard’s first start in over two months and it’ll be interesting to see if he can retain his spot in the first XI when Spurs visit Manchester City in the second leg of a Champions League quarter-final this week.

Pep Guardiola might not be expecting Llorente to start and that’s why it could be beneficial if he does.
