You can see from his facial expression that it means a lot to him, get behind the fella #COYS

So pleased for him. He has had to wait a long time. I thought Son was going to have a greedy shot, it seemed to take ages for him to pass to Jenssen even though he was in a great position, but fair play he made the pass. I really still feel he has buckets of talent and huge potential. He has been unfortaunate because early on in the season we weren't playing great, we and he hadn't settled yet. It is always so much harder when you come on as a sub and have little time to get up to speed and also when you are inevitably replacing someone else who may have played well and be a provider but now they are off the pitch. He has a real opportunity now and I really hope he gets a little luck now. You just know the media are going to be saying "He still hasn't scored from open play in the premier league yet." Bastards.
Give it a week. Big Vinny looked fired up after than first goal, and perhaps his mentality is just right to turn the corner.
If he does get to start against Southampton (though you'd think that'll be Son leading the line given Poch's previous choices) then it's a massive chance to now kick on.
Really lovely seeing how all the other players reacted to his goal. Our lads are the best.
I also thought the goal really felt like a lift off his shoulders (literally). After he scored he seemed so much more confident and tried to make things happen. Eriksen is key to the team though so it will be Eriksen and Alli behind him or son then rotate imo
Really pleased he got a chance today when we were winning comfortably and our confidence was high. Well taken finish, hoping he can push on from here and get some game time towards the end of the season (although not at the expense of Kane being out for a long time!!!)
Huge weight off his shoulders and you could see it in his play after the goal. He was trying things we haven't seen him do in a Spurs guernsey, I was stoked when he scored almost as happy as when Bobby put in his first from open play. Shattered he didn't bury that header a couple of minutes later, he had a brilliant cameo and if Kane is out i definitely want him to start because his link up play is awesome and if he adds goals to his game he'll be leathal for us.
Think Vinny knew he had to take his chance today after Poch has been showing him some tough love this last couple of months , I doubt he'll start against Southampton , he'll be on the bench raging then he'll come on and play like he did today with fire in his belly.
Me:
When he came on-he stayed central (most of the time). they must be working on his game and positioning. Sometimes he strayed wide but mostly wanted the ball to feet in the box, central.

Apparently at the start of the season, Janssen had learned, one of them Alli, paper, stone, flip flap hands together celebrations but couldn't remember it?
Hopefully, they have been working on his game in training and yesterday was the result. I felt he looked and played different. The ball played to him was different, to feet. His positioning was different, he stayed central more.
Lets hope its a direct result of change rather than chance.
He actually stayed up top and played as a striker yesterday. Something he has rarely done since joining us.
Absolutely everyone that's met him says he's a really lovely guy.
Noticed a good one in the West Spam thread...crutches panties...probably for groin strains...Classic autocorrect
