TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR V APOEL FC
Our Under-23s let a 2-0 lead slip as we went
down 4-2 at Manchester City in the Premier
League 2 recently.
City had a bit of possession in the opening
stages but we made the breakthrough when
Oliver Skipp found Joe Pritchard and he was
fouled by Jacob Davenport 25 yards out. Up
stepped Shayon Harrison to curl a great free-
kick beyond City stopper Daniel Grimshaw
Six minutes later it was 2-0 and again it
came from a set-piece. This time, Pritchard
swung in a free-kick, Japhet Tanganga got the
first contact and knocked it back across goal
for Kazaiah Sterling to nod home
The home side got themselves off the mark
in the 33rd minute as Phil Foden worked an
opportunity for himself in a move that started
all the way back with keeper Grimshaw. Foden
advanced into the area and rifled high into the
net from a tight angle on the left.
Five minutes after the break it was all square.
Skipp was robbed of the ball in midfield, City
countered and Nmecha fired past goalkeeper
Alfie Whiteman. The hosts got themselves in
front with 10 minutes left as they worked the
ball from right to left, Javairo Dilrosun got the
better of TJ Eyoma at right-back and crossed
for Nmecha to head in.
Sterling almost fashioned an equaliser as the
clock ticked down but saw his effort blocked on
the six-yard line before Nmecha completed his
treble from the penalty spot on 90 minutes,
firing past Whiteman after Maghoma was
penalised for a challenge on Tom Dele-Bashiru
as he went through on goal.
