Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Ryan Mason has explained that it was a proud moment for him to make his Premier League debut in his side’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
The 23-year-old, who is a product of Spurs’ youth set-up, started in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium, where Nacer Chadli opened the scoring in the 56th minute before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain equalised for the hosts 18 minutes later.
And Mason insisted that he now wants to build on his Premier League debut after a waiting a long time for it.
“It was a massive stage to make my debut and a proud moment for me”, Mason explained to his club’s official site.
“I’ve waited a long time and now I want to make the most of it."
