Tottenham attacker Dejan Kulusevski has recalled the first time he felt accepted by the Spurs support.

The Swede says he truly felt welcomed during last season's win against Manchester City.

He wrote for the Players' Tribune: "We all remember that game. Three minutes in, I score, and it's like 30 kilos fall off my shoulders. Then in injury time, at 22, I put in a cross for Harry, who heads it in.

"Everyone starts running to him, but I'm on the other side, so I turn, I watch the fans and I scream as loud as I can 'I'm him! I'M HIM!'. Just hyping myself up.

"And I'm not exaggerating: That moment was one of the happiest of my life. It's the most alive I've ever felt in my life. I remember thinking 'I don't care about nobody anymore'. Nobody can tell me again that I cannot play this game. Nobody can tell me what I can and cannot do. Well, except [my sister] Sandra, but even she was happy. She told me 'Finally, your first good game in three months'."
