Poyet happy with Woodgate

Tottenham number two Gustavo Poyet has praised Jonathan Woodgate after he made an impressive debut against Everton tonight at Goodison Park and help keep a clean sheet for Tottenham.

"I thought Jonathan Woodgate was absolutely fantastic," praised Gustavo. "He was commanding the back four and winning everything in the air.

"He was tight when he needed to be and made great decisions. Sometimes the good players are the ones that make the best decisions and Woody does that. We were very pleased with him."

Woodgate only just joined from Middlesbrough during midweek and will be looking to add more impressive performances to his resume.
