Dream goal: “Like Messi transformed into a defender”

van de Ven took the ball at the height of his own penalty area, rushed across the pitch and away from all FC Copenhagen players to score the 3-0 goal in the Champions League match in London.

To be honest, I saw a small gap so I thought: “Okay, I'll start dribbling and see if they stop me,” says van de Ven.

I gained more and more space and felt: “I am free now, I am going for it”.

Coach Thomas Frank notes:

It may have been the season, definitely.

Tottenham won the match 4–0.
