Tottenham fans were in great awe by the performance of Davinson Sanchez after he earned his first start for the Spurs in the routine 3-0 win against Everton on Saturday.
The 21-year-old become the North London club’s record purchase last month when he completed a £40million switch from Eredivise giants Ajax.
Saturday’s trip to Everton was the Colombian enforcer’s real chance to show White Hart Lane supporters what he is all about after he was selected by Mauricio Pochettino to play in the straightforward win at Goodison Park.
Sanchez made his debut for Tottenham before the international break with a one-minute appearance off the bench in the 1-1 draw with Burnley at Wembley.
Harry Kane scored a brace either side of Christian Eriksen’s strike, but it was the summer signing Sanchez that received all the attention from the fans on Twitter.
One of Spurs fans said that the Colombian was “pure class” on Saturday.
Football Weeks has selected one of the best tweets from the fans:
Sánchez obviously the difference here #COYS

Davinson Sanchez cost Tottenham a lot of money in August but he already has shown signs that he could be worth the huge price-tag after a brilliant performance against an Everton attack that has also been invested heavily on in recent months.
However, Ronald Koeman’s side had no answer for Sanchez and his new defensive team-mates of Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld.
