AZ Alkmaar 1 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur Lucas Bergvall's unfortunate own goal condemned Tottenham to a flat and uninspiring defeat in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie against AZ Alkmaar. Author - Greg S Stadium - AFAS Stadion Ange Postecoglou's side offered little in attack, failing to muster a shot on target until the closing stages, and only managing two touches inside AZ's box all evening. The decisive moment came from teenage midfielder Bergvall, who inadvertently diverted Troy Parrott's cross into his own net as he attempted to clear the danger. Spurs had goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to thank for keeping them in the tie, producing three crucial saves. This included one to deny former Tottenham striker Parrott, who joined AZ for £6.7m last summer. However, Tottenham's hopes of progression took another blow with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur now suspended for next week's return leg after picking up his third booking of the competition. Postecogl...

Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 0 Manchester United James Maddison made an immediate impact on his return from injury, scoring the decisive goal as Tottenham edged out fellow Premier League strugglers Manchester United. Author - Greg S Stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium The midfielder, back after nearly four weeks sidelined with a calf problem, reacted quickest when United goalkeeper André Onana could only parry Lucas Bergvall’s shot, tapping home from close range after just 13 minutes. United had opportunities to respond, with Alejandro Garnacho wasting a clear-cut chance in the first half when he lifted his effort over the bar. But in keeping with their recent struggles, it was another uninspiring performance from Ruben Amorim’s side. For Spurs, this was a much-needed win—breaking a run of three straight defeats, including cup exits to Liverpool and Aston Villa. It also offers some respite for Ange Postecoglou, whose side climbs to 12th in the table, leapfrogging United in the process. Th...

United then brought on Mikael Silvestre and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the interval. They were a different side in the second half and staged a remarkable second-half comeback to silence the home support, who were in party ...

Tottenham Hotspur have secured the loan signing of forward Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.  The loan move includes an option to make the deal permanent in the summer for £45m. Author - Greg S The 19-year-old had reportedly turned down Spurs earlier this month, but he’s now set to link up with Ange Postecoglou’s side as they look to strengthen their attacking options. Tel’s agent, Gadiri Camara, fuelled speculation on Monday by posting an image of the pair aboard a private jet, and within hours, reports confirmed his move to north London. Since joining Bayern from Rennes in 2022, Tel has made 83 appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists. However, with limited opportunities in Germany, a Premier League switch could offer him the game time he craves.

Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 0 Elfsborg Tottenham battled through yet another injury setback to book their place in the last 16 of the Europa League, with teenage sensation Mikey Moore capping off the victory over Elfsborg in style. Author - Greg S Stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Already missing 12 players due to injury and ineligibility, Spurs suffered another blow when substitute defender Radu Dragusin went off injured in the second half with the game still goalless. However, 20-year-old Dane Scarlett lifted the mood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, heading the hosts into the lead in the 70th minute. Fellow substitute Damola Ajayi, 19, then doubled the advantage, before 17-year-old winger Moore sealed the win in stoppage time with a stunning low finish after a surging run. In doing so, the London-born youngster (17 years and 172 days) made history, breaking Jimmy Greaves’ long-standing record (set at 17 years and 245 days in October 1957) to become the youngest-ever English goa...

Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 2 Leicester City Leicester City halted their seven-match losing streak and climbed out of the relegation zone with a spirited 2-1 comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur, intensifying the scrutiny on Spurs' head coach, Ange Postecoglou. Author - Greg S Stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium The Foxes, under the management of Ruud van Nistelrooy, were acutely aware that a defeat in north London would have equalled their worst-ever league run. Their concerns deepened when Richarlison, returning to Tottenham's starting lineup, headed the hosts into the lead during the first half. However, the game took a dramatic turn in the opening moments of the second half. Just 57 seconds after the restart, Jamie Vardy brought Leicester level, showcasing his enduring prowess. Shortly thereafter, Bilal El Khannouss curled a sublime shot from just outside the penalty area, putting the visitors ahead. Leicester then displayed resilience, holding firm to leapfrog Wolverhampt...

Everton 3 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur Everton began their road to recovery under returning manager David Moyes with an impressive victory at Goodison Park, piling further pressure on Tottenham's under-fire boss, Ange Postecoglou. Author - Sarah W  Spurs were disjointed and vulnerable for large parts of the game, as a revitalised Everton side – who had only managed three Premier League wins and 15 goals all season before this match – dominated proceedings. The Toffees raced to a well-deserved 3-0 lead by half-time and, despite a late Tottenham fightback, the final scoreline flattered the visitors, failing to capture the gulf in performance between the two teams. With both sides desperate for points, Everton swept Spurs aside in a blistering first half, laying the foundation for a crucial victory that condemned Postecoglou's side to their seventh defeat in 10 league matches. Dominic Calvert-Lewin broke a 1,288-minute Premier League goal drought dating back to September, skillfully ...

Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 2 Wolves Jorgen Strand Larsen’s late equaliser salvaged a point for Wolves in a chaotic Premier League draw with Tottenham, continuing Vítor Pereira’s strong start as Wolves manager. Author - Greg S Wolves took an early lead when an unmarked Hwang Hee-chan calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box, capitalising on a lapse in the Spurs defence at a free-kick. Spurs responded swiftly, with Rodrigo Bentancur nodding in a powerful close-range header from Pedro Porro’s pinpoint corner. Moments later, they were handed a golden opportunity to take the lead when Brennan Johnson was brought down by Andre in the box. However, Wolves keeper José Sá guessed correctly, denying Son Heung-min from the spot. The missed penalty didn’t deter Totten ham’s attacking momentum. A slick exchange between Dejan Kulusevski and Johnson in a crowded box ended with Johnson firing a precise low shot into the net to give Spurs the lead. Wolves appoint ex-Porto...

Bournemouth  1 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur Bournemouth climbed above Tottenham in the Premier League table after defender Dean Huijsen's solitary goal secured victory at the Vitality Stadium. Author - Greg S Huijsen capitalised on poor marking to nod in Marcus Tavernier's inswinging corner at the back post after just 17 minutes. Huijsen’s goal highlighted Spurs' ongoing struggles with set-pieces, leaving manager Ange Postecoglou shaking his head in frustration on the touchline. Tottenham had started brightly, with Dominic Solanke making his mark on his return to Bournemouth following a £65m summer move. However, the former Cherries striker, greeted with scattered boos from the home fans, saw two early efforts fail to make an impact.

Earlier, defender Evan N'Dicka had drawn Roma level , and Stephan El Shaarawy thought he’d scored with a stunning volley, only for VAR to rule it out for offside. Despite their control, Spur...

Manchester City 0 - 4 Tottenham Hotspur A remarkable evening in Manchester. Who saw this result coming? James Maddison netted a brace as Tottenham swept past Manchester City, handing them a fifth consecutive defeat – a streak they hadn’t endured since 2006. Author - Macca Pedro Porro smashed in a third, and Brennan Johnson sealed the victory with a last-minute fourth on a remarkable night that saw City’s 52-match unbeaten run at the Etihad come to an end. That streak had stretched back to just before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This was City’s heaviest home defeat since their 5-1 drubbing by Arsenal in 2003. It also marked the first time Pep Guardiola’s side had suffered three consecutive Premier League defeats under his leadership, just 48 hours after he signed a new two-year contract extension. For Spurs, it was a stunning turnaround. Despite being without both first-choice centre-backs, fielding five teenagers on the bench, and coming off a 2-1 home loss to Ipswich two weeks ag...

Author - Macca Could Jack Grealish be moving to Spurs? https://t.co/8dEkMVPVu0 https://t.co/dqUjAtT0y4 — European Super Football (@ESFootballNews) November 13, 2024 Ange Postecoglou is eager to strengthen his attacking options and feels the 29-year-old could bring a fresh dynamic to his squad. Spurs are seeking to add both quality and experience up front, and Grealish’s ball-carrying prowess is seen as a valuable asset. There’s a sense within the club that they need a player who can help control the tempo, with Grealish’s ability to draw fouls and move play forward seen as crucial. However, a January move seems unlikely, as City are reluctant to part with squad players while managing an ongoing injury crisis. Despite this, Tottenham are setting ambitious goals for the transfer market and are keen to pursue Grealish if a deal becomes...

Author - Greg S Teenage forward Will Lankshear, who had earlier celebrated his maiden senior goal in just his second start for Spurs, was shown a second yellow card and dismissed on the hour mark.
