Tottenham Hotspur fans are again praising Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, this time for the way he spoke after 0-0 draw with Chelsea.

Spurs kept their unbeaten run going in the Premier League, with Jose Mourinho’s side having not tasted defeat since the opening game against Everton.

The north London giants are currently top of the pile, but have the same amount of points (21) as Liverpool, with the Blues a couple of points further back in third.

Spurs weren’t really deserving of maximum points on this occasion, and Hojbjerg gave an honest take of the result and performance after the game.

He said on NBC: “I think in some moments we could have been a bit more clinical.

“We’re there, we’re competing, there are still many games to go.

“In the end it’s about consistency and it’s about taking it game by game. We need to understand that we are a very good team. We need to have the belief, but we also need to be humble.

“There are still many games to go, but I like how we are presenting ourselves, I like how we’re competing and I like how we’re a solid unit, and we’re always good for creating chances.”

Hojbjerg has seriously impressed following his move from Southampton in the summer, with his work in defensive midfield has been absolutely key to Spurs’ success so far.

But fans have also been hugely taken by his conduct off the pitch, with many acknowledging him as a brilliant speaker.

His latest comments drew praise on social media from Spurs fans:
