The Dutch striker is yet to score in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur.
Vincent Janssen
Dutch striker Vincent Janssen has admitted his hopes to score a similar goal as he did for his country in the Premier League.
Last night saw the Netherlands dispatch of Belarus in style, winning 4-1 at home. A brace from Quincy Promes and a goal from Davy Klaassen were finished off by the Spurs striker Janssen.
His goal was brilliantly taken.
He skipped around a Belarussian defender, marched forward, before striking an unstoppable left-foot finish into the top corner from outside the box.
After the game he spoke to the press about the goal. He declared himself happy with the strike, but admitted he was now hopeful of scoring for Spurs in the Premier League.

He is quoted by VoetbalZone as stating:
“I was glad I was important, but you would like as a striker scored once.
“You will anyway make goals, but of course it’s nice if it has been a while. This gives something more satisfying.
“I’m always happy when I score a goal, and I would also like to do at Tottenham in the Premier League.”
Janssen has found it hard in front of goal since joining Tottenham from AZ Alkmaar in the summer.
He has scored just once for the club, a penalty v Gillingham in the EFL Cup, and is still waiting for his first Premier League goal.
This performance for the Netherlands once again highlights his obvious ability to find the back of the net.
Tottenham fans will hope he starts doing it regularly for them in the weeks and months to come.
