Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen says that he will remain confident in front of goal despite failing to score from open play since his move to the club.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen has said that he did not think twice about taking his side's penalty in the EFL Cup clash with Liverpool.

Janssen is yet to score from open play since his summer switch from AZ Alkmaar, despite making seven starts and seven substitute appearances for the North London outfit.

However, the Netherlands international says that he had no doubt in his ability when netting his team's goal in the 2-1 defeat at Anfield.

The 22-year-old told Spurs TV: "As a striker you always want to score and when I saw the referee gave a penalty I took the ball and put it in.

"For me it doesn't matter where I take the penalty. It's just a penalty and you have to score it, I have enough confidence, it doesn't matter to me where it was or how long I haven't scored for. It was just a penalty, I wanted to score it and that's what I did."

Janssen joined Spurs for £17m after netting 27 times in the Eredivisie last season.
