Jamie Carragher has shared his praise for Oliver Skipp following Tottenham's Premier League game against Newcastle United.
Spurs faced a 2 - 1 defeat to the Magpies on matchday 13 on Sunday. Harry Kane's goal was not enough to secure three points against the opponents as Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron scored the winning goals for Eddie Howe's side.
Despite Tottenham's defeat, Carragher was impressed by Skipp, who made his first start of the season at the weekend.
“He’s definitely more of an offensive player (Moura sub), but to be fair to Skipp,” Carragher told Sky Sports Premier League, via HITC.
“In that first half, he was the one from midfield who was making those penetrating runs in-behind. He did quite well in the first half and he hasn’t played too often this season.”
After the clash, Tottenham keep their 3rd place in the Premier League table with 23 points. Their next rivals will be Sporting in the Champions League on Wednesday.
