Janssen: Support of Spurs fans means a lot

The time finally came for the Tottenham Hotspur fans to sing Vincent Janssen’s name on Wednesday night, and the striker admits he will be forever grateful for the support he gets from the stands.

Janssen played a key role in Spurs’ superb comeback win against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium, rallying from 1-0 down with just minutes remaining to leave Wales as 3-1 winners.

The Dutchman orchestrated a delightful backheel to set Dele Alli away for the third goal, scored by Christian Eriksen, to end what has been a torrid time in North London, scoring just one Premier League goal this season.

But his impact in a potentially title-defining win has not been downplayed by the fans, with Janssen delighted he was finally able to give them something to cheer about.

“It means a lot to me as I’ve said a lot of times. I can’t thank them enough because they are really important for me and try to help me. I try to pay them back with performances on the pitch,” he said.

“The feeling is very good because you know you are going to get the points – very important points. We fought the whole game so it’s important to come away with the reward. The feeling is very good – all the fans went crazy and that’s what you play for.

“Everyone was happy because it’s a very important win. It’s a feeling that you can’t describe – it’s one of the best feelings when you win in the last few minutes.”
