Roy Keane and Michael Owen are saying the same thing about Tottenham man after Sunday
Tottenham Hotspur moved a step closer to securing Champions League football and a place in the top four on Sunday with a solid 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest – even if, it didn’t go all their own way.
Forest star Murillo – who has been linked with the exit door – almost scored from midway through 🦋his own half. Chris꧅ Wood equalsied after Murillo’s own goal – and then missed a sitter after, hitting the post.
But in the second half, Tottenham changed. A different side, helped by a gorgeous strike from Micky van de Ven. A beautiful effort, int🌳o the top corner with his left foot. Pedro Porro made it 3-1, also a nice goal.
Forest had no reply, and in truth, Tottenham could have s✨cored five or six. For van de Ven, the plaudits flooded in after the full-timeඣ whistle. The Dutchman continuing his brilliant start to the 2023-24 season.
Micky van de Ven earns more and more plaudits at Tottenham
Jamie Redknapp💜 claims he could emulate Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, s♋hould he continue in the same way as he has started. His goal was spectacular, and both Michael Owen and Roy Keane applauded him.
Keane told : “Very simple, very effective. We can be critical of🏅 Fo🐼rest’s defending, but it’s struck brilliantly. He hits it like a striker, what a finish – no chance for the goalkeeper. Pace, beautiful strike.”
Owen told : “It hits the back of the net almost as it leaves his foot. Bril🎃liant strike. We’ve all eulogised over his defensꦍive capabilities, but didn’t know he had that in his locker.”
Van de Ven quickly becoming one of the League’s best defenders
The Dutchman is on fire. James Maddison is probab🦄ly the signing of the season for Spurs, immediately a game changer, a leader, But if anything, van de Ven is more i🀅mportant to them, to their way of playing.
His ability on the ball, his speed at the back, his technical ability and even the trait he boasts that aꦏllows him to go past players, is already known. His goal, saw him show he 𝐆is capable of another dimension.
There 🤡were eyebrows raised when Tottenham spent £43m to sign the defender. But now, it is looking like one of the bargain buys of the season. With van de🅷 Ven, Spurs have a brilliant base to build around.
