Ferencvaros 1-2 Tottenham: Youthful Spurs win in Hungary in the Europa League

Tottenham took two wins from their two Europa League games as their youthful side beat Ferencvaros in Hungary.

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 crisp run from the right flank before the loose ball fell to Pape Sarr, who scored with a low effort from the six-yard box.

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

Ferencvaros finished strongly, but Kady Borges and Cebrail Makreckis missed good chances to equalize.

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

Varga finished a cross on the left to pull one back for the hosts in the 90th minute, but it was not enough to deny Postecoglou victory.

Tottenham now have six points from six after starting their campaign with a 3-0 home win over Azerbaijan’s Qarabag.
