Pundit couldn’t believe how much Tottenham crowd loved £43m player yesterday
At full-time, the scenes at the stadium showed just how excited the Tottenham Hotspur fans were. When Joel Matip’s mis-step led to Alisson Becker’s goal, the whole stadium erupted in celebration. Most of the team ran to the far end of the pitch to join Pedro Porro, who had been in brilliant form all night and had delivered the cross which forced Matip’s error.
But Van de Ven, who had been on his own at the halfway point, simply collapsed in a fit of elation, relief, and exhaustion.
Tottenham Hotspur fans may have their next hero on their hands. Just days after signing Van de Ven from Wolfsburg, the home crowd have responded superbly to the Dutchman’s inclusion in the team.
Liverpool had one of the best attacking lines in the league and, despite being down to 11 men, Van de Ven was able to make an impact.
