Tottenham Hotspur loanee Japhet Tanganga has received a lot of praise from Millwall fans following his latest display.
It has been a difficult couple of months for Millwall who have struggled to pick up results since the turn of the year.
Ange Postecoglou saw one of his defenders make the move to The Den in the January window, a move which had taken time to really take off.
Japhet Tanganga scores against Southampton
After joining Millwall last month, the 24-year-old had found himself without a win until their trip to Southampton on the weekend.
Coming up against one of the promotion chasing sides, Tanganga was able to help guide his side to three big points on the south coast.
The Englishman provided a huge block and even got himself on the scoresheet as Neil Harris’ men upset the form book.
And it was apparent his display impressed the Millwall fans who took to X after the game to share their delight:
Japhet Tanganga’s future at Tottenham
It has to be said, it is difficult to see where Tanganga may potentially fit in under Postecoglou given the Australian is yet to use him.
The 24-year-old has now been sent out on two loan spells this season and will return in the summer with just one year remaining on his deal.
However, putting in performances like he did on the weekend against the Saints will do his chances of reviving his career no harm.

Even if Spurs do not consider Tanganga as having a potential future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he is certainly putting himself in the shop window ahead of the summer.
This is the first time the 24-year-old has been on the winning side at Millwall and it seems his display may have surprised some of their supporters.
