Graham Roberts praises three Tottenham players on Twitter after defeat vs Barcelona

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Graham Roberts has praised Spurs trio – Erik Lamela, Harry Winks, and Harry Kane – on social networking site Twitter after last night’s game against Barcelona.

Spurs lost 4-2 against La Liga giants Barcelona at Wembley. It was a spirited performance from the north Londoners, especially in the second half, but they were undone by a superior Barcelona attacking team.

Lionel Messi produced a masterclass performance against Mauricio Pochettino’s side. Spurs did produce a strong second-half performance and despite the defeat, they can take away some positives from the game.

Roberts said that it was disappointing to give the goals away, but he was happy with the performances of the aforementioned Spurs trio.
