A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Steven Bergwijn’s performance as Spurs started the new year with a superb win on Saturday.

It was Bergwijn who won the penalty that allowed Tottenham to break the deadlock. He caused all sorts of problems for the Leeds defenders with his running and energy.

And many are adamant that the goals will come for him. Some even made comparisons between Bergwijn’s current form and the start Son made to life in North London.
