Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their pre-season campaign with an emphatic 4-1 demolition of AS Roma in the International Champions Cup in San Diego.
Fernando Llorente and Lucas Moura both bagged a brace during the first 45 minutes of the match which was held at the SDCCU Stadium. It was also fantastic to see some of our youngster stars in action, including midfielder Luke Amos, who was handed a start.
Tottenham went behind in the opening minutes to Cengiz Under’s strike, but after that there was no dispute of who was in control of the game.
Fernando Llorente pulled Spurs level after he did well to win a header from a deflected Luke Amos cross.
He doubled his tally on 18 minutes to score from close range after Lucas’ volley was stopped by the Roma keeper.
