Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino lauded Davinson Sanchez, labelling the defender "a beast" after his team's EFL Cup win over West Ham on Wednesday.
Sanchez was the only player to start Spurs' second match in three days after Monday's Premier League loss to Manchester City, playing another 90 minutes in the 3-1 victory at London Stadium.
The Colombia international's efforts were hailed by Pochettino, whose team led courtesy of a brace from Son Heung-min.
"It was a very good performance. I'm very proud because this game was so complicated and another derby, a derby that in the end we won," he said, via the club's website.
