It was a nailed on red card, but funnily enough I still thought it was overall quite a positive performance that bodes well for the future. Aside from the red card (and I accept that is obviously a huge but), he was really good - positive going forward, a little suspect positionally at times but quick, strong and instinctive enough to get away with it - his last-ditch tackle to prevent a goal early on was sensational. Given Pochettino's history of turning full backs who were mediocre bordering on crap into superstars, I'm excited to see what he can do with a rough diamond like Aurier.
NB: Anyone who smirked to themselves at 'huge but' should be very ashamed.
