Game details below are from the unofficial Tottenham Academy Twitter account, well worth a follow if you want to know about our academy players.

  • 13 mins - Chance for Spurs. Oduwa picks up the ball centrally and plays in Miller but his shot went just wide of the far post. 0-0
  • A superb through ball from Edwards puts Harrison through on goal but his effort is saved.
  • Another opening for Spurs - Edwards dribbled in from the right, combined with Pritchard but fired just wide from the edge of the box.
  • Muscatt comes on for the injured Maghoma. He'll go to LB with Ogilvie shifting across to CB.
  • Penalty Spurs! Walkes was tripped at a corner. Looked soft to me.
  • 35 mins - Spurs were awarded a penalty for a trip on Walkes at a corner but Harrison's tame effort was saved. 0-0.
  • Half time: Tottenham U23s 0 Everton U23s 0. Spurs should be a goal or two ahead, their passing & movement has been exceptional.
  • Amos and Edwards have been particularly impressive.
  • More of an even start to the second half. Everton came close from a wide free-kick. 0-0.
  • Oduwa and Edwards have been replaced by Stylianides and Tracey. Everton starting to take control. 0-0.
  • Goal for Everton. Walkes' cross-field pass was intercepted by Henen, he powered his way past Amos and finished well.
  • 0-2. Spurs centre-backs and goalkeeper combine to gift Everton a tap in after a cross from the left.
  • Full time: Tottenham U23s 0-2 Everton. Impressive first-half display but poor in the second.Amos, 
  • Ogilvie & Miller our best over 90 minutes, Edwards superb in the first 45 but failed to make an impression in the second.
