It appears Spurs have some of those good vibes back after a convincing 2-0 win against Dortmund in the Champions League yesterday.
There was a lot of chatter heading into the match about the lack of available first-team players for Spurs. Thankfully, in the best-case scenario that unfolded on Tuesday, Tottenham got to put one of those youths on that pitch.
That youth: Jun’ai Byfield:
Here is what he wrote in the accompanying instagram post:
Happy to make my first competitive debut especially for it to be in the champions league. Also happy to become Tottenhams youngest Ucl player
He played a significant number of minutes, too, replacing Lucas Bergvall in the 63rd minute. Speaking to reporters after the game, Thomas Frank said Byfield didn’t look out of place at all.
And he was even gifted a signed shirt after the game.
- Tottenham debut
- Champions League debut
- Home win versus Dortmund
That all sounds like a dream start for his career at Tottenham.
