Tottenham fans will be hoping that Matt Doherty can replicate his form in front of goal once Premier League action resumes on Boxing Day. On pause since early November with the World Cup taking place in Qatar, Antonio Conte's men will head across the capital in 11 days' time to take on Brentford.
Ahead of their trip to Brentford Community Stadium, the Lilywhites have been warming up with behind-closed-doors friendly games against Motherwell and Peterborough United Under-21s. Victorious in both with 4-0 and 3-1 wins, respectively, right wing-back Doherty managed to get his name on the scoresheet three times.
Hitting a double against their Scottish opponents with a low strike in the first half and a brilliant header shortly after the break, the Republic of Ireland international followed up his brace with a drilled effort from 12 yards against Posh. Doing exactly what Conte wants from his wing-backs by getting up the pitch and managing to get amongst the goals, Doherty has put himself in a decent position to start in the match against Brentford.
