Tottenham kick off pre-season with big win as Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray handed debuts

New signings Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray both played as Tottenham on Saturday kicked off their pre-season with a 7-2 win over Cambridge United in a behind-closed-doors friendly.

A first-half hat-trick from Brennan Johnson and a double from Heung-min Son, supported by the likes of Pedro Porro, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski and Manor Solomon, had Spurs cruising at the break.

There was plenty of rotation from both teams, with manager Ange Postecoglou using two completely different teams in each half.

Teenagers Bergvall and Gray got their first minutes of the summer in the second half, the former in midfield alongside James Maddison and Oliver Skipp and supporting Timo Werner, and the latter lined up at right-back.

With a few first-team stars still away on international duty, there were plenty of academy prospects on show, with Jamie Donley, Tyrese Hall, George Abbott, Luca Gunter, and Mikey Moore all reportedly involved.

Spurs are next in action on Wednesday, July 17, as they travel to Scotland to face Hearts before returning to London to take on QPR at Loftus Road three days later.
