Pre Season: Spurs secure win at QPR
QPR 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Yves Bissouma's first goal in Spurs colours and a late strike from Dane Scarlett made it two wins out of two in pre-season.
Ange Postecoglou's side secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon. This was a very entertaining match that both sides would have taken a lot from.
Midfielder Bissouma produced some dazzling footwork to slide home the opener just before half-time. Tottenham then weathered some heavy second-half pressure from the hosts, substitute Scarlett converted Mikey Moore's cross three minutes from time - just moments after his introduction - to make the game safe.

It was another largely positive afternoon for Spurs at Loftus Road, the only downside being the first-half departure of Lucas Bergvall, who had picked up a knock in the penalty area and was replaced by Dejan Kulusevski as they took no chances over the recent arrival.
Defeat but a positive experience for QPR
This was QPR's first defeat of their pre season campaign. However, there was a lot that they can be positive about. The home side were on top when Spurs hit a killer late second goal and they didn't disgrace themselves in front of a sold-out Loftus Road.
This positivity was felt by Jamie Peters. Jamie said: "I was impressed by some of our players. I feel like this could be a positive season for the club."

Greg, a Spurs fan, added: "I am confident for the new season. We have a new manager who will achieve great things if we stick with him. As for the QPR match, I was impressed with the team. It was a tough match against a side that I think could get promoted over the next couple of seasons."
