Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino praised Vincent Janssen for a "fantastic" display against Liverpool, but insists the forward needs more time.
The Dutchman, who arrived at Spurs in July for a reported €20million from AZ Alkmaar, has been used mostly off the bench in the Premier League.
Janssen was given a start and netted a penalty in his side's 2-1 loss at Anfield on Tuesday.
"Today I think he was fantastic. He played very well, he made a big effort and he scored. We are very happy with him," the Argentinian said, via the club's website.
"We need to understand that he's 22, he's come in from the Netherlands, a different league, and always we need to give time.
"But one thing is clear, that he is a player who works a lot, who is always involved and the commitment he shows in every game and every training session is fantastic."
