Spurs news: Victor Wanyama scores a great goal in 4-0 hammering of Huddersfield

Mauricio Pochettino made several changes to the Tottenham side as they faced Huddersfield in the Premier League.

The boss had one eye on the Champions League tie against Manchester City in midweek and his options were limited due to several injuries.

Eric Dier and Harry Winks were unavailable for this clash and it saw Victor Wanyama starting against the relegated side.

The Kenyan had a couple of Premier League starts under his belt this season but he came up big in the win.

Wanyama gets the ball rolling

The 27-year-old might not have scored a hat-trick like Lucas Moura but he scored the first goal of the game.

Ben Davies played a great ball into the feet of Fernando Llorente. The Spaniard flicked it to the onrushing Wanyama.

The Kenyan skipped a challenge from a Huddersfield player before showing some quick feet and rounding the keeper. Wanyama scored into an empty net, his first goal of the season.

The former Southampton man has had his injury troubles this season. However, he did a decent job in the game for Spurs and proved he can be a decent option when we play the lesser sides, no offence meant to Huddersfield.

The 27-year-old still needs more minutes on the pitch to sharpen up but many fans were surprised at the quality of his finish.

Here are some of their reactions from Twitter.
