Welsh media delivers emphatic Ben Davies verdict as Tottenham star helps Wales win in Montenegro

Tottenham Hotspur have no fewer than 16 players currently away on international duty at senior or youth level.

And quite a few Spurs players are doing very well indeed for their countries, with one in particular having just been praised for “another really good performance”.

The player in question is Ben Davies, who has been a stalwart for Tottenham and Wales alike over the past decade or so.

Davies played the full 90 minutes for the Dragons as they ran out 2-1 winners in their Nations League clash away in Montenegro.

Kieffer Moore and Harry Wilson both scored within the first three minutes of the game to put Craig Bellamy’s side in a great position early on.

And though Driton Camaj halved the deficit for the hosts midway through the second half, Wales held on for all three points.
