AJ Tracey and Pedro Porro rave about Tottenham youngster on Instagram after his efforts last night
Today at 12:15 PM
Tottenham Hotspur ran out 2-1 winners over Ferencvaros in a Europa League game which also saw two Spurs academy stars made their full debuts.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou named Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear in a competitive starting XI for the first time in both players' careers.
Both players gave good accounts of themselves, with Moore even playing a part in Spurs’ opening goal.
The 17-year-old, who played the full 90 minutes, was heavily involved in Tottenham's first goal, getting the ball rolling with bright run from the right touchline.
The loose ball then fell to Pape Matar Sarr, who scored in the 23rd minute with a low effort from inside the six-yard box.
Spurs went on to double their lead through Brennan Johnson on 86 minutes as he shifted the ball onto his left foot and fired in off the woodwork.
Although Ferencvaros set up a nervy finish through Barnabas Varga's 90th-minute strike, the Lilywhites held on for their fifth victory in a row.
Moore took to Instagram after the game to celebrate his full debut, and some of his peers, including teammate Pedro Porro and rapper AJ Tracey, sung his praises.
Pedro Porro and AJ Tracey praise Tottenham ace Mikey Moore
“Full debut and 3 points. So grateful for the opportunity, onto Sunday,” wrote Moore.
Porro posted applause emojis, while AJ Tracey wrote “yeahhhhhh”, along with a fire emoji.
Moore’s solid stats on the night
As per Sofascore, Moore clocked up some solid stats, including six dribbles attempted.
Moore also did well in terms of ground duels, winning six of his 14 attempts. He also made one key pass and created one big chance.
All in all, it was a great display from Moore. And obviously it cannot be forgotten that he only turned 17 in August, which suggests he could be a real star in the making.
What next for Tottenham?
Spurs are next in action on Sunday, with a Premier League trip to Brighton & Hove Albion scheduled to kick off at 4:30pm BST.
