With the unexpected postponement of the Leyton Orient Cup clash, Tottenham Hotspur had an extra couple of days off as we went into tonight’s Third Qualifying Round Europa League clash with Shkendija.
Manager Jose Mourinho certainly rung the changes, so some had an opportunity to impress and get better minutes into their legs and it looked like we were about to do just that, as Erik Lamela opened the scoring five minutes into the tie.
Despite better dominating, we couldn’t add to our advantage by the break, so all eyes to the second half.
Or maybe not, ten minutes after the restart the hosts were back on level terms and we had a game on our hands again.
With 20 minutes remaining in the game, the ever-reliable Sonny popped up to restore our advantage and added a goal to his earlier assist. Nine minutes later Sonny helped himself to another assist as he set up Harry Kane to put a more confident reflection on the game at 3-1.
And that was how it finished, we were comfortable just with some dodgy moments.

Seriously can’t see Spurs winning any cups again this year under Mourinho, let’s face it he don’t like half the players at his disposal, tougher task next round in this, Chelsea next in EFLcup God only knows who in FAcup,, no Levy sorry you ain’t gona win nothing with him in charge, three of your signings cheap not up to it players, one Bale jury out on, just also rans again this season.
another levy mess up hes trying to buy time and dithers about purchasing hates as all he looks for is sell on value of player now goi g other way get the right players win some trophies oriole y youve 1 in 20 years if anyone produced that sort of performance youd be out of job
