Oliver Skipp marked his Norwich City debut with a man of the match performance in their Championship-opening victory at Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
The 19-year-old, who Jose Mourinho touted as a future Tottenham captain earlier this summer, moved to the Canaries on a season-long loan deal to gain valuable first-team experience after making just three starts for Spurs in all competitions last season.

Skipp played the full 90 minutes as Adam Idah’s late strike ensured Norwich made the perfect start on their return to the second-tier.
But it was the on-loan Spurs midfielder that stole the headlines with his outstanding display and you can watch some of his best bits below.
Superb start to #NCFC life for Skippy! ?

We sure could do with him now. but Mourinho probably thinks that he won’t be ready for another 2 or 3 years.
He is a holding mid. Do you know the players?
We do not have a single creative mid on our starting 11. As a matter of fact there are none in the first team.
