Xavi Simons has been the big talking point at Tottenham Hotspur over recent weeks, and against Copenhagen, it was no different with his latest display.
Tottenham Hotspur recorded an emphatic 4-0 win over the Danish side as they responded to the weekend’s defeat against Chelsea.
Micky van de Ven scored one of the most impressive goals the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has ever seen, with Wilson Odobert, Joao Palhinha and Brennan Johnson also finding the back of the net.
Xavi Simons didn’t manage to get his goal in the Champions League, but overall, his display did leave fans all making the same point.
Tottenham fans are backing Xavi Simons to kick on after Copenhagen display
Tottenham fans are now backing Simons to finally kick on at the club following his impressive performance against Copenhagen.
Simons has been struggling at Tottenham, but he looked so full of confidence during the match and made things tick.
The midfielder even managed to create three big chances in the first half, which is the most by any Spurs player in the Champions League since the 2016/17 season.
Tottenham have kept the faith in Simons, and he produced a wicked response against the Danish opposition.
Thomas Frank’s team played with much greater attacking intent, so it was no wonder that their creative midfielder enjoyed one of his best games in Lilywhite.
During the match, Tottenham fans took to social media to share their praise for the 22-year-old and are excited for what’s to come.
One fan said: “I am still thinking about that Odobert-Simons link up in the first half… It was absolutely beautiful, and will continue for us Tottenham fans for years to come.”
“An attacking approach would make Simons so much better. I‘ve never seen him be too consistent with his creative actions, but the increased volume alone would make him more useful for us,” added another.
There was yet more praise for the former PSG star: “This is the Xavi Simons that we’ve all been waiting for! Best performance in a Spurs shirt by an absolute mile.”
Finally, another added: “Xavi Simons has been the best attacking player on the pitch by some distance. Set up Johnson’s opener and should have had another two assists, had it not been for Kolo Muani’s sitters.”
Glenn Hoddle praises Xavi Simons’ display in Champions League
Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle was full of praise for Simons after the game and believes it was his best performance since joining.
After the match, Hoddle told TNT Sports: “It’s about players like Xavi Simons, he will be gutted to come off because of the sending off. But at the end of the day, he had his best game in a Spurs shirt.
“He was creative, he got an assist, he might have had a couple more assists. He’s the creative spark, we’ve seen what he can do in a Spurs shirt.”
Simons will now be raring to go against Manchester United on the weekend and follow up his strong display against Copenhagen with another top performance.
