Tottenham star Mathys Tel bags winner in France Under-21 win | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Mathys Tel bagged the winner as France beat the Faroe Islands 1-0 to reclaim top spot in their European Under-21 Championship qualification group.

Tel netted the opener for Spurs in the recent 2-2 draw with Manchester United and followed it up by scoring another vital goal that will boost his confidence.

Despite a tough start to life under new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, he is quietly demonstrating his importance with back-to-back goals now.

The winner on Monday evening takes his tally for the France Under-21 set-up to 12 goals in 20 appearances.

He had bagged in both appearances for France during the last international break.

Tel has scored two goals in 249 Premier League minutes for Spurs, bouncing back from the disappointment of being dropped from the Champions League squad.

The 20-year-old will hope for more opportunities to prove his worth for Spurs, and his recent goal contributions will undoubtedly boost his chances.

Tel will be eager to secure a starting berth on the left flank, but will also take opportunities to lead the line for Spurs if they arise.

Spurs teammate Wilson Odobert also got valuable game time during the win, coming off the bench to give France a different threat.

Elsewhere, Tottenham playmaker Xavi Simons scored to help the Netherlands book their place at the 2026 World Cup.

Simons, who is yet to open his account for Spurs, bagged the third goal in the 4-0 rout of Lithuania.

He will hope to carry that form back to Spurs as they prepare to take on arch-rivals Arsenal this weekend.

Simons has struggled to make an impact but will hope this goal sparks a turnaround.
