Football fans took to Twitter to hail Mousa Dembele for his first-half performance in their Premier League clash against Manchester United.
Spurs completely dominated the opening period of the clash at Wembley and were good value for their 2-0 half-time lead, secured by a first-minute Christian Eriksen strike and a Phil Jones own goal.
Eriksen’s sweetly struck opener came just 11 seconds after kick-off and was timed as the second fastest goal in Premier League history.
Spurs were dynamic and energetic in attack, solid in defence and in complete control in midfield, where Dembele was partnered by Eric Dier as Mauricio Pochettino fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Spurs supporters were not the only ones hailing the dominance of Belgium international Dembele, with fans of other clubs watching the live televised match also struck by how he dominated United’s pairing of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic in the centre of the pitch.
One hailed him as “the most under-rated player in the Premier League” and many others pointed out how he had totally outclassed £89million man Pogba.
