Tottenham's Under-18s won
this game against Coventry City in the
FA Premier Academy League 3-0
with a dominant performance.
The last home game of the season saw Spurs push
forward, while the Sky Blues looked content to defend their goal with
effort and tenacity in the manner of their coach Lee Carsley.
Spurs were hassled into giving the ball away
and Coventry were grateful for the possession, starting most of their
attacking moves from this tactic, but Richards headed a cross over the
top when well-placed and Fredrick brought trialist Vigouronx into action
with a save as he broke into the left hand side of the area, with
Barthram shielding the loose ball for the keeper to grab at the second
attempt.
Spurs took the lead in the 16th minute when
Victor Zapata-Caicedo played a one-two with Souleymane Coulibaly on the
left and he beat the keeper to his left after picking up the return pass
inside the defender. Coulibaly showed his strength in the
air by forcing Burge to a couple of saves from headers and also his
ability on the floor, by taking a long ball down, holding off defenders
before playing it to Nabil Bentaleb, who hit a shot into the side
netting.
In the second half, the same pattern prevailed,
as Spurs looked for goals and Coventry tried to play on the break.
Two Coventry chances went begging before Coulibaly teed himself up for a
volley that the keeper got a hand to and was then kicked off the line.
A Kenneth McEvoy cross was headed against the crossbar by a defender and
then Coulibaly had two shots wide (one a spectacular scissors' kick that
ended up nearer the corner flag).
City had efforts through Baker-Richards (wide)
and Fredrick, who forced Vigouronx into a save. In the 79th
minute, Coulibaly got on the end of a McEvoy cross to head back across
the keeper for Tottenham's second goal and then two minutes later
dragged a man out to the left before squaring for McEvoy to have a
straightforward opportunity to beat the keeper to make it 3-0.

A tough
game at Coventry City saw our Under-18s draw 1-1 in the FA Premier
Academy League. Spurs had gone ahead
with an own goal from Zaine Angol-Francis' throw-in to Laste Dombaxe,
who fed the ball on to Kudus Oyenuga and the forward's low cross was
knocked past the Sky Blues keeper by one of his own defenders on 25
minutes. The goal was a little against the run of play, as
Coventry had started brightly, but the goal gave Spurs the upper hand
for the middle section of the game.
Chances were created, but Spurs failed to
finish them off and with minutes remaining to half-time, City equalised
when Billy Daniels went through, although there was a hint of offside
about the goal.
At the start of the second half, Tottenham
played good football and should have gone back in front when Jack Munns
took the ball around the goalie, but his shot struck the upright and
with Darren McQueen closing in on the rebound, the keeper recovered to
block his effort. Ryan Fredericks continued his comeback from
injury as a second half substitute, but although another couple of
opportunities presented themselves for Spurs, they went begging and the
game ended all square.

Spurs recorded their second
big win of the season over Coventry City with their 6-1 FA Premier
Academy League victory at Spurs Lodge.
A 10th minute Jose M'Poku goal put Spurs into the
lead and from there it was plain sailing, with a second following within
five minutes as Kudus Oyenuga
netted.
Harry Kane grabbed a third and M'Poku's second
gave Tottenham a 4-0 lead at the interval.
The second half saw substitute Laste Dombaxe
score the fifth on 70 minutes, before Coventry pulled a goal back.
However, Spurs scored again, with Kane's second coming from a corner,
although the Sky Blues had the final word, with a late consolation goal.

Twice the Spurs Under-18s'
lead was hauled back by a determined Coventry City in A FA Premier
Academy League match at Spurs Lodge.
There were five Under-16s in a young Spurs
side, but they took the lead as Laste Dombaxe struck a fine shot from 20
yards out to beat the City keeper, but Coventry equalised when Spurs
gave the ball away and were punished for it.
On 50 minutes, Kudus Oyenuga finished calmly
when faced with a one-on-one
situation to restore the lead, but again Coventry hit back in the 75th
minute to tie it up at 2-2.

Spurs hit eight against
Coventry City at Spurs Lodge to wipe away the memory of their FA Youth
Cup exit in mid-week.
Striker Kudus Oyenuga headed home Dean
Parrett's free-kick in the 11th minute to start the goal rush and the
score was quickly doubled when Harry Kane netted after a good volley
from 12 yards out, when he had lifted the ball over his marker's head.
Five minutes on, the third Spurs goal came from Paul Jose M'Poku, who was
played in by Kane and the Belgian forward came inside his full-back and
hit a low shot into the bottom corner of the net to make it 3-0.
Only a good save from Jamie Butler kept the
score-sheet clean, as Luke Bottomer tried a shot on goal after 20
minutes, but soon after a pass from Tom Carroll put Parrett clean
through, but he was aware that Oyenuga was better placed and squared for
the forward to get his second and Tottenham's fourth. Jake
Nicholson grabbed the fifth with a 12 yard shot and it was 6-0 before
half-time as Nathan Byrne's cross was headed into the path of Dean
Parrett to strike home.
Three minutes into the second half, the goals
continued to hit the back of the Coventry net, as M'Poku slid in a cross
that Kane finished expertly. Just after the hour mark, City pulled
one back, when a corner was not cleared effectively and Cyrus Christie
fired the ball back past Butler to make it 7-1. The final goal of
the game came in the last ten minutes, when Byrne's run on the right
wing found M'Poku, who took a touch and set up Kane to fire home
powerfully for the eighth Tottenham goal.
Teams :
Spurs - Jamie Butler, Nathan Byrne,
Olumide Durojaiye, Callum
Butcher, Tom Carroll, Jake Nicholson, Ryan Fredericks (Paul McBride 70),

Jake Livermore's return to
the side after recovering from a broken leg was a bonus to the
Under-18s, who grabbed another late goal, but this time it was a winner.
Having equalised in the last minute least week
against Aston Villa, Spurs were reliant on another late strike to gain
all three points on this occasion. Coventry City were in second
place with Villa behind Spurs and took the initiative with a goal after
five minutes, when the defence twice failed to clear a City free-kick.
However, after 20 minutes, Spurs brought the
score back to 1-1 when Andros Townsend's corner was met by Calum
Butcher, who netted the equaliser.
The second half saw Spurs' play becoming a bit
disjointed, but this was partly due to Coventry breaking up any moves
Tottenham did put together. On 80 minutes, Oscar Jansson made a
fine save as a Coventry player went through with only the goalkeeper to
beat, but the Swede denied him and kept the scores level.
It proved decisive as Adam Smith came in off
the right wing to cross with his left foot and the ball ended up in the
Sky Blues' net after the goalie misjudged it and Spurs were 2-1 winners.

Spurs - Oscar Jansson, Adam Smith,
Nathan Byrne, Jake Livermore

Tottenham drew an
incredible match with Coventry City's
Academy side, with the game ending 6-6 at
Spurs Lodge !!
Having lost goalkeeper Oscar
Jansson after two minutes following a clash
with a forward, as the Swede dived at his
feet - picking up a chest injury in the
process - young Italian goalie Mirko Ranieri
replaced him between the sticks.
A 25 yard free-kick
from Ryan Mason put Tottenham ahead, with
the lead being doubled when Jon Obika put in
a cross for Andros Townsend to score at the
second attempt after failing with a header
in the first instance.
Obika was the
creator again, as Mason struck again to make
it 3-0 just
after the half hour.
Coventry got a
quick goal back and then reduced the lead to
3-2 a couple of minutes before the half-time
whistle. However, Obika scored to put
two goals between the teams again ten
minutes after the interval. Once more,
City hit back immediately, then brought the
score to 4-4 within a couple of minutes,
before taking the lead.
The turnaround
sparked a Spurs revival and Adam Smith did
well on the right wing to create Ryan
Mason's hat-trick goal on 68 minutes to make
it 5-5, but once more, Coventry went ahead
with about 20 minutes left on the clock.
With 80 minutes
gone, Mason, Obika and Yaser Kasim all
linked well to set up Dean Parrett to
convert the opportunity and make it 6-6,
which stayed the score until the end !!
