Bristol City Youth v Spurs Match Reports

Spurs went ahead soon after when Jack Munns made a run into the box and fed the ball to Cameron Lancaster, but the striker’s shot was kept out by a block and fortunately for Spurs, it dropped to Massimo Luongo, who dispatched the ball past the keeper to make it 2-1.

There were chances for Spurs to add to the score on a couple of occasions and City had one opportunity to equalise form a late corner, but Spurs held out to take the win.

A goal within ten minutes of the restart saw Jack Munns create a tap-in for Kudus Oyenuga and with Tottenham playing a more confident passing game in the second half, it could have been 3-3 when Alex Pritchard was fouled in the box, but Oyenuga’s spot-kick was touched onto the post by keeper Lewis Carey.  However, it was left to Laste Dombaxe to score a late equaliser ten minutes from time with a close range finish to earn Tottenham a point.

Tom Carroll was on the spot to net in the 25th minute after Paul Jose M’Poku’s shot was saved by the City keeper and Carroll made it 2-0 by the break, with his shot going in off the bar after good play between M’Poku, Harry Kane and Jake Nicholson.

A long ball out of defence by Calum Butcher put Kudus Oyenuga away and the striker put the ball into the net from an acute angle after pressuring the Robin’s central defender in the 50th minute.  Jordan Archer had to make a couple of very good stops in the Spurs goal, but as Tottenham continued to dominate, Harry Kane was felled in the box and Tom Carroll stepped up to take the penalty to grab his hat-trick, but the City goalkeeper saved his spot-kick.  However, the referee deemed that he had moved too early and the re-taken penalty was successfully converted by Anton Blackwood in the 70th minute.

An early goal by Kudus Oyenuga got Tottenham off to a good start and Harry Kane hit a second on 25 minutes to make it 2-0.  Paul McBride added a third on 35 minutes after a pass from Paul Jose Mpoku sent him through the Robins’ defence.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, the home side pulled a goal back, but having come off the bench, Jesse Waller Lassen scored Tottenham’s fourth goal fifteen minutes from time to round off a 4-1 win over the Robins.

A goal from striker Jon Obika on 25 minutes opened the scoring, with a curling effort from the right side of the box and the tally was doubled just before the half-time interval when Kudos Oyenuga put the Robins goalie under pressure from a Ryan Mason corner and  the ball dropped kindly for Calum Butcher to tap in from close range.

Just after the game restarted for the second half, Oyenuga held off defenders in a strong run and then buried his low shot past the keeper to make it 3-0.  Spurs were awarded a penalty when a City player handled and Ryan Mason stepped up to take the spot-kick, but missed, although he converted another penalty when he was tripped and got up to knock the ball home after 65 minutes.

With only s short time remaining, Anthony Jack was first to react to a loose ball in the area and finished clinically to make the final score 5-0.

Spurs went into a 4-1 lead thanks to two goals each from Paul-Jose M’poku and Kudos Oyenuga after going a goal behind.  M’poku scored from Andros Townsend’s corner and then Oyenuga gave Tottenham the lead before he headed in his second from M’puku’s cross to make it 3-1.  Ryan Mason put M’poku away in the 55th minute and he finished calmly, but a resurgence in attacking from the home side saw them bring it back to 4-3, before Ryan Mason put the game beyond City’s reach with a fifth goal for Spurs, beating the keeper as he went through the City defence.

Andros Townsend scored Tottenham’s first goal on 20 minutes after being set up by Kyle Fraser-Allen and a measured finish saw the midfielder put the ball into the roof of the net.

A solo goal from Jon Obika made it 2-0 five minutes later, when he made a run on the right, cut inside two defenders and curled a shot into the far corner past the keeper.

Chances came and went for Spurs, but Bristol City got a goal back and it was a close run thing in the second half, as keeper Oscar Jansson made two fine saves to keep the visitors out on his debut.   The third Tottenham goal close to the end of the game sealed the victory, with David Hutton netting a far post finish, following good work from Townsend.

A muddy pitch saw Spurs have to scrap out a win against a determined City side.  It was Tottenham who took the lead, when Leigh Mills buried a header from a 10th minute corner and Czech striker converted a spot-kick with 20 minutes remaining to edge out City who got a goal back, but it wasn’t enough for the home side.

Spurs created a high number of chances without taking them, but David Hutton hit the underside of the bar and the ball bounced out.  Striker Tomas Pekhart forced the Bristol City goalkeeper into a couple of saves, but there were not many clear scoring opportunities.  However, the match marked the first full games of the season for Troy Archibald-Henville and Joe Martin as Tottenham finally fielded a team of Under-18s for the first time.

Jacques Maghoma put the ball in for Terry Dixon after five minutes, but the striker could not get a firm contact, but City opened the scoring on the half hour with a ball over the top and David Button brought the striker down as he entered the box.  City converted the penalty to go ahead.

It was Matthew Wells who got the equaliser just before half-time, when Maghoma put the ball across the face of the goal and the midfielder got onto it at the far post to knock it in.

The second half saw Spurs have a couple of chances to take all three points, but City were dangerous on the break and the draw was a fair result.
