Some spurs fans adore what Ben Davies did in the 91st minute
Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on social media have been fawning over Ben Davies after he stuck up for Joe Rodon as Wales played Turkey on Wednesday. Wales picked up a great win at Euro 2020 on Thursday against Turkey, but unfortunately, there were some ugly scenes in the 91st minute as Burak Yilmaz kicked off with a few Wales players. The scuffle started after Rodon made a fantastic block from a chance that Yilmaz had, and while the Turkish striker was keen to get in Rodon’s face, Davies was there to back him up. Davies and Rodon are of course friends from Tottenham, and it seems as though the left-back has his teammates back.
