Tottenham coach Burnett praises Soonsup-Bell for U21 winning debut

Tottenham coach Wayne Burnett was happy with Jude Soonsup-Bell's performance for their U21 win against Brighton.

The striker was making his debut after last month's move from Chelsea.

Burnett said, "We like Jude, he's a player that has qualities, he's a player that gives us something a little bit different, wants to run in behind but he works tirelessly as well and he showed that today.

"He's probably not had as much football as he'd have liked of late, but he's come in and he's played 80 minutes and made a massive contribution to the team.

"The small details... with the first goal he's managed to defend at the corner, then he's pressed the goalkeeper for Romaine's second and like I say, he works tirelessly for the team, so I thought he had a very good first game for us."
