Tottenham wonderkid Mikey Moore, 17, handed his first Premier League start against Crystal Palace after winger dazzled in victory over AZ Alkmaar

Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore has been handed his first start in the Premier League against Crystal Palace this afternoon.

Moore, 17, impressed during Spurs' 1-0 victory against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League in mid-week and has been rewarded with a spot in Ange Postecoglou's XI.

His display on Thursday saw him likened to Neymar by his team-mate James Maddison while Postecoglou admitted it was 'hard to keep a lid' on his talent.

With captain Son Heung-min ruled out of the game at Selhurst Park due to a hamstring injury, teenager Moore will again line up on Spurs' flank.
