Joy for Spurs under 18’s in 5-2 victory over Swansea:

Scott Parker’s side returned to winning ways with an emphatic 5-2 league victory over Swansea at their Landore training ground on Saturday morning. A very young side travelled including two schoolboys, centre half Malachi Walcott who completed the whole match and pacy winger J’neil Lloyd Bennett both of which I saw play at the recent academy showcase game in Cambridge. It sounded like Spurs were the much better side, with goals from Maurizio Pochettino, Reo Griffiths x2, Phoenix Patterson and Paris Maghoma ensuring that Spurs travelled back from South Wales with all three points. Up next for Parker’s lads is a North London Derby away to Arsenal, next Saturday. COYS
