Tottenham defender Wimmer enjoyed winning Premier League debut

Tottenham defender Kevin Wimmer was delighted making his Premier League debut on Saturday.

Wimmer featured in victory over Crystal Palace.

“Honestly, it's a great feeling to get my Premier League debut, although it was a very tough game," Wimmer told the Spurs website.

“When I came on it was 1-1, it was very close, but we wanted those three points and of course I tried everything to help the team with my performance.

“It's never easy to come on as a defender for maybe 15 minutes. You have to be switched on from the first second you come onto the pitch.

Crystal Palace tried a lot of long balls but, next to me, Toby helped me a lot. We spoke a lot in the game and so it was easier for me when I came on."
