A number of Northampton Town fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Kion Etete after the Tottenham Hotspur loanee scored his third goal for the club in League Two on Tuesday.

Etete has started to find some form with the Cobblers. He had previously endured a difficult start to life on loan. The 19-year-old had reached double figures for league appearances without a goal.

It was a delightful finish from the teenager. Certainly, plenty of Tottenham fans lauded the academy prospect on social media following the victory.
