Mathys Tel has sent a message to the Tottenham Hotspur support at Villa Park after scoring his first goal against Aston Villa.

However, the Frenchman’s strike proved to only be a consolation in the end as Tottenham Hotspur crashed out of the FA Cup in the Midlands.

𓆏The North London club have now exited both domestic cups within the space of just a few days having also lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.

꧅Tel will not be best pleased with his start to life in North London but after the game, he did make sure the travelling fans at Villa Park did feel appreciated.

Mathys Tel’s nine-word message to Tottenham fans

Mathys Tel🌠 made sure to thank the travelling Tottenham fans for their support following the defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup.

🦩After the trip to the Midlands, Tel took to Instagram to say: “Thank you to all the fans for the support.”

🔴The 19-year-old made a point of going over to the supporters after the full-time whistle to apologise for the defeat.

Tottenham fans are keen for Tel to play centrally with the Bayern Munich loanee having started on the left and Son Heung-min up front.

💧Son’s role as captain has been questioned as he proved wasteful up front as he missed a glorious opportunity to square the game in the first-half, however, his effort from close range was straight at Emiliano Martinez.

꧒Tel netted his first goal for the Lilywhites with a well-taken effort in stoppage time as he showed glimpses of what he is capable of in front of goal.

How good was Mathys Tel vs Aston Villa?

🍌Tel was without doubt one of Tottenham’s bright points on a dark afternoon at Villa Park as the Frenchman played with a great deal of confidence.

With Ange Postecoglou’s♔ side looking devoid of any confidence right now, having at least one player on the pitch who wants the ball is especially important right now.

🐬The Frenchman was heavily involved for the Lilywhites as he managed 43 touches against Villa and was involved in 12 duels throughout the match.

Tottenham fans will hope that 🉐Tel is played in his preferred position as a striker🐭 in the next game against Manchester United following a strong showing against Unai Emery’s team.
