Jol hails wing wonder Lennon

Tottenham coach Martin Jol hailed Aaron Lennon as one of the best young wingers England have produced in a decade after he inspired Spurs to a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United at White Hart Lane.

Lennon laid on the first goal after seven minutes for £10.8m signing Dimitar Berbatov to score on his home debut, and captain Robbie Keane began the move which led to Tottenham's second from Jermaine Jenas after 17 minutes.

Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock labelled Lennon 'unplayable' and Keane 'outstanding', and a delighted Jol said: "It's about control with Aaron because normally if you are a quick player you lack a bit of vision. But he shows me every day in training that he has vision as well as speed."

He added: "He is one of the best wing players I have seen in the last 10 years. He is different. Aaron will improve and it is only a matter of experience with him, he is only 19.

"With Keane it is all about knowing when to drop off, it's about timing. You need players like him to get the ball."

Jol was delighted with his team's overall performance after their disappointing 2-0 defeat by Bolton on Saturday.

He added: "The final score doesn't reflect the game because we could have had three or four. That is the only thing we have to work on, to score more goals.

"I am more than pleased because it was a good performance. We didn't do well against Bolton and everybody wanted to do better. That is what we did."

Jol was also happy with Berbatov's contribution after the player learned the harsh realities of life in English football against Bolton.

He added: "English football is different and he realised that against Bolton. I think he showed his class. We gave him a lot of support. You can't ask for more than that."
