Mauricio Pochettino raves about Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez

Tottenham Hotspur eased into the next round of the Carabao Cup after beating West Ham 3-1 at the London Stadium on Wednesday night.

Son Heung-min scored twice for Spurs on his 150th appearance for the London club. In the process, he ended a run of 19 games in all competitions without a goal. Fernando Llorente added another for the visitors.

After the match, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was full of praise for defender Davinson Sanchez who was terrific at the back alongside Juan Foyth.

The 22-year-old, who joined last season from Ajax, has been in good form in 2018/19.
