Tottenham warmed up for the return of Premier League football on Boxing Day with a 3-1 win over Peterborough United Under-21s at their Hotspur Way training base on Wednesday afternoon. Arranging another behind-closed-doors match with their trip to Brentford now less than two weeks away, Spurs won courtesy of goals from Matt Doherty, Harvey White and Bryan Gil.
Fresh from their 4-0 triumph over Motherwell on Friday afternoon, Antonio Conte started with ten of the 11 players who started against the Scottish side for the visit of Posh. Youngster Charlie Sayers was the unlucky player to drop out of the XI, with Clement Lenglet returning after not featuring against the Steelemen last week.
Creating openings for Dejan Kulusevski, Bryan and Doherty early on in the contest, Spurs opened the scoring through White on 25 minutes. Davinson Sanchez met Kulusevski's inswing corner and the midfielder was on hand to convert from close range after the ball had travelled across the face of goal.
