Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have been flocking to quotes from Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg which emerged on social media.
During the latest round of Premier League fixtures, Jose Mourinho’s outfit demolished Manchester United in a 6-1 drubbing at Old Trafford (per Premier League).
In the game, Hojbjerg provided an assist and earned himself a stellar 8.00/10 match rating for his performance in Greater Manchester (per WhoScored).
Speaking after the game, he stated it was “only three points like any other win” despite the scoreline, however, “mentally it is a good step and good proof that we are heading in the right direction.”
These quotes were originally posted by the Daily Mail before being relayed on Twitter by Hotspur Related and they left many fans talking.
