The Dutchman twice scored with headers from close range to set Spurs on their way to a valuable victory and also played a key role in keeping a clean sheet with five interceptions and seven clearances.

Van de Ven is now the Premier League's top-scoring defender with three goals and is averaging an impressive 7.2 Flashscore rating across the league campaign so far.
