Youthful Spurs win at Ferencvaros in Europa League

Pape Sarr celebrates after scoring his opener, which the 17-year-old Mikey Moore helped to set up.

Tottenham made it two victories from their two Europa League games as their youthful side won in Hungary against Ferencvaros.

Ange Postecoglou included four teenagers in his starting line-up – winger Mikey Moore, 17, midfielder Lucas Bergvall, 18, defender Archie Gray, 18, and 19-year-old striker Will Lankshear, who was making his senior debut.

Moore was heavily involved in Tottenham’s first goal with a bright run from the right touchline before the loose ball fell to Pape Sarr who scored with a low effort from inside the six-yard box.

The goal came after the hosts thought they had taken the lead as Barnabas Varga headed into the net, but was judged narrowly offside.

Ferencvaros ended strongly but Kady Borges and Cebrail Makreckis wasted good opportunities to equalise.

Spurs substitute Brennan Johnson, who had earlier shot against the crossbar, doubled the visitors’ lead, collecting the ball from Moore and shooting low, with the ball bouncing in off the post for his fifth goal in five games.

Varga finished off a left-wing cross to pull one back for the hosts in the 90th minute, but it was not enough to deny Postecoglou’s side the victory.

Tottenham now have six points from six after they began their campaign with a 3-0 home win over Qarabag of Azerbaijan.
