Leyton Orient v Spurs Youth Match Reports

The score-line does not reflect a game that did not have five goals between the teams, but Tottenham were ruthless with their finishing after the half-time interval.  Just after the restart, Kevin Smith played a through pass for Neil Smith to run onto and score, adding a second goal five minutes after the first in similar fashion.  A foul brought Shaun Murray down in the box and he got up to take the penalty, only to see it saved.  Luckily, Steve Smart was alert to the rebound and beat the keeper to make it 3-0.

When Steve Carney flicked on a corner at the near post Andy Theodosiou headed in the Spurs fourth and the final goal came from substitute Matthew Edwards, who ran onto Smart’s through pass to slide the ball past the keeper.

Ian Gilzean raced away down the right wing and put in a cross for Tommy Fitzgerald to fire home in the 16th minute with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area, making it 2-0 nine minutes later with a clever lob over the O’s goalkeeper. 

Ten minutes into the second half, Jason Cook scored a penalty after Richard Johnston had been fouled.  With Polston and Butters proving a solid central defensive pairing, Spurs kept a clean sheet and with fifteen minutes remaining, Fitzgerald created a chance for Johnston, which he took to complete a fine win.

Spurs had been lax at the start of the match and Orient capitalised in the tenth minute when John Chiedozie fired a shot into the goal.

Setting about getting back into the match, Spurs levelled with a close range header three minutes later and then Terry Boyle fired home a shot after 31 minutes, which was enough to win the tie after a dull second half.

The home side took an early lead, but Danny Clapton equalised halfway through the first half and shortly after Gary Smith made to 2-1 to Spurs.

Orient could have pulled level from the penalty spot, but it was hit wide of the goal, leaving Tottenham to go on to score again when Chris Jones seized on a defensive error and make it 3-1 at the interval.

Another lapse in the Orient back line allowed Gary Mabee to score the only goal of the second half to make the final score 4-1 to Spurs.

Spurs were given the lead through a Gary Plackett goal with the lead being doubled before the break when Steve Outram chipped the keeper, who couldn’t stop the ball beating him although he got both hands to the effort.

Just after the break Orient pulled a goal back, but the lead was restored when Mike Dillon scored from 25 yard out. The visitors goalkeeper had to leave the field with injury and was replaced between the sticks by David Staines, who played for Spurs last season. Again Orient narrowed the lead, but again Tottenham put two goals between the sides when Mike Flanagan scored.

Dominating possession, Spurs Youth failed to turn it into goals, leaving Orient to earn a point from this meeting in the South-East Counties Division 1.

A defensive mix-up allowed Orient to go ahead just before the half-time whistle, but it took Tottenham until late in the game for John Oliver to run down the right, beating two Orient men, before crossing to Ray Clarke, who buried his header.  There was almost a winner for Spurs, when Graeme Souness hit the bar with seconds left.
