Returning to our starting XI for the first time in 17 months for Monday's meeting with Coventry City, the midfielder made his mark almost immediately, curling home our opener in sumptuous style on 14 minutes as we went on to run out 3-1 winners.
Kylian Mbappé sparked debate earlier this year when he was asked what the easiest role in football is.
"In my opinion, it's centre back. You're covered from all sides, you can even play in a back three," he responded.
Roberto De Zerbi dialed up a different plan for Tottenham Hotspur on Monday Night Football, rolling with a back three to start the game as Micky van de Ven, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Tosin Adarabioyo shined with Andy Robertson and Mohammed Kudus playing in wing roles.
The midfielder scored Tottenham's opening goal on his first start for the club in over 500 days.
The central defender produced a typically calm, assured display alongside Micky van de Ven as goals from James Maddison, Omar Marmoush and Ben Davies saw us home.
