Spurs ace Hojbjerg tells Da Silva: You owe me a new shin pad!

Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has moved to assure Brentford wing-back Josh da Silva there's no hard feelings after last night's clash.

Da Silva was sent off for his challenge on the Dane as Spurs defeated the Bees 2-0 in their Carabao Cup semifinal.

Hojbjerg posted to social media: "Of course you didn't mean it. So don't worry. I'm a viking and I am fine. But... You owe me a new shin pad.

"You have a great future ahead @joshdasilva_ .

"Be strong and keep working hard.

"Best of luck to you and your team.

"Big hug,

"Pierre-Emile Højbjerg."
