Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth started for Argentina last night, but was unable to help them win.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have praised Juan Foyth after he left Philippe Coutinho standing during the Copa America last night.

Tottenham defender Foyth was selected to start at right-back again for Argentina, as he gained more vital experience for his country.

Argentina were actually beaten 2-0 in the contest, and Foyth did not always look comfortable.

However, one moment of class the Spurs man produced really caught the eye.

Foyth showed why he is so highly regarded at Tottenham after he produced a clever piece of skill to get past Coutinho.

The Spurs defender shimmied past the £142 million (Guardian) Barcelona man with great ease.

And the moment of skill has drawn great praise from Tottenham fans on social media website Twitter.

Foyth has started at right-back for much of the Copa America for Argentina, and it could be that he has a chance of seizing that position at Tottenham next term.

Pochettino played the 21-year-old on the right-hand side of his defence on a few occasions last term, and it may be that Foyth could force his way ahead of Kieran Trippier in the selection order.
