Tottenham assistant head coach Christian Stellini has lavished praise on midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

The Danish international was at his very best against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Despite surrendering a lot of possession and shots, Spurs came away with a 1-0 win at home.

"I think it was a great performance, for 90 minutes with a great lucidity, with a great mind and thinking about his position and what he had to do on the pitch," said Stellini of the Dane afterwards.

"He worked very well and the ball he gave to Harry was amazing. The best thing was that he used his mind every time in the game to find the right position.

"When you have a player that plays with this mind and thinks when he moves in the game, it's very important."
