“I'm happy for the team, to score my first goal for Tottenham and for the victory. It's very important for the team,” Serge told club website.

The former Paris Saint-Germain right-back joined Spurs for € 25 million in the summer and has confirmed that he is adapting to the English Premier League.

“I’m good. It’s my first season here, the game is not the same (as in France),” he continued.

“It’s very difficult but for me it’s good, it’s a big experience for me and for the team I’m happy.”

Aurier will be looking forward to his eighth English top-flight appearance when his fourth-placed side confront Manchester City on Saturday.
