Graham Roberts has raved about Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez after the win over Liverpool on Sunday.

Spurs recorded a brilliant 4-1 home win over their rivals in the Premier League and moved level on points with second-placed Manchester United in the table.

The North London club were in sensational attacking form as Harry Kane (two), Heung-Min Son and Dele Alli scored the goals.

Meanwhile, it was another solid defensive display from Mauricio Pocehttino’s side, except for a rare blip where Mohamed Salah got in behind to score.

Sanchez has been a revelation for Spurs since his £40million arrival from Ajax in the summer and has slotted straight into the starting XI.

The 21-year-old centre-back has become a mainstay in the side already and has worked perfectly in the middle of a back three.

Roberts hailed the impact of the Colombian this season after the win against Liverpool and believes he looks a natural fit, as cited by his official Twitter account.

OPINION

Sanchez looked tailor-made for the Premier League while was performing in the Eredivisie with Ajax and a switch to England has already proved a success. There were a few eyebrows raid when Spurs splashed out for the young defender, but he has become the missing ingredient for Spurs. He is the perfect fit in the defence and has all the physical attributes to thrive in the Premier League. Sanchez is only going to improve too as he learns from two of the very best centre-backs in Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, who play excellent supporting roles beside him.
