Spurs aiming for hat-trick of pre-season wins before Chelsea showdown

Tottenham continued their winning start to pre-season with a penalty shootout victory over Sydney FC at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday morning. Spurs had already beaten Milton Keynes and Auckland as they look to build towards Roberto De Zerbi’s first full campaign in charge since the Italian took over last term.

Mathys Tel scored a sumptuous free kick on 29 minutes as he starred off the left flank, while Andy Robertson was handed a cameo appearance in the second half to mark his debut after joining on a free transfer having left Liverpool. Lucas Bergvall played in place of Mateus Fernandes, with the summer signing left out of the matchday squad as a precautionary measure amid concern on social media that he had picked up an injury.

Sydney rallied and levelled through Takahiro Sekine, who seized upon a mistake from Kota Takai to equalise. Aleksandar Popovic missed the decisive penalty before Dane Scarlett slotted home the winner from 12 yards to keep Spurs’ good run going Down Under. They face Chelsea next up this weekend.
