Our under-18s’ five-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday as they slipped to a 3-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
Full of confidence at the top of the table, we made a dream start to the game when Folarin Balogun opened the scoring inside three minutes.
Sam Greenwood received the ball on the left wing and danced past two defenders, before picking out Balogun inside the box, who shifted the ball onto his left foot and rifled the ball in off the crossbar.
The remaining exchanges of the first half proved to be a midfield battle with chances coming few and far between, but on the stroke of half-time Jubril Okedina leapt high inside the box to head home for the hosts.
