Match Report

Tottenham closed out their pre-season with a comfortable 3-0 win over Hoffenheim, and it was teenager Mikey Moore who stole the show with a second-half double. The result gave Spurs plenty of momentum heading into the new campaign, with wing play the key to unlocking a stubborn German side. Richarlison broke the deadlock in the 35th minute, finishing off a move started by new signing Robertson down the flank. Moore then took over, doubling the lead in the 59th minute before adding a smart finish into the bottom corner in the 79th, both goals created by Mathys Tel's driving runs from the left. It was a clean afternoon for both sides, with no cards or penalties to speak of. For Tottenham, Moore's performance was a timely reminder of his quality amid loan speculation, and boss Roberto De Zerbi may now think twice about letting him leave. Spurs open their Premier League season against Brentford on August 22, while Hoffenheim turn to DFB Pokal duty against Aue the same day.
