A number of Spurs fans have waxed lyrical about Cristian Romero following his Carabao Cup masterclass on Wednesday.

Tottenham reached the quarter-finals of the competition thanks to a 1-0 win at Burnley.

It wasn’t the most inspiring of games, but Spurs got the job done and are in the hat for Saturday’s draw.

And Romero played a big part in helping Nuno Espirito Santo’s side keep a clean sheet and reach the last eight.

Spurs were up against one of the most physical sides in the Premier League, but the 23-year-old seemed to enjoy the battle.

He flew into tackles and blocks, made numerous clearances, won five aerial duels, and made plenty of accurate passes.

At the other end, Lucas Moura headed home in the 68th minute during a spell of Tottenham pressure.

A couple of Spurs players impressed on the night, and Romero earned plenty of praise from fans:

Spurs are joined in the last-eight draw by Leicester, Liverpool, Brentford, West Ham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Sunderland.
