Spurs forward James Maddison has hailed Mikey Moore’s Europa League display as if he had Neymar in the team.
Mikey Moore, who is just 17, was in scintillating form as Spurs edged past AZ Alkmaar 1-0 to make it three wins in a row in the Europa League on Thursday.
Maddison said after the game, praising his team-mate: “Another win done, third win in three games and nine points now puts us in a very good position.”
“From minute 45 to minute 60 I thought we had Neymar playing ทางเข้า ufabet on the left. He (Moore) is not afraid of anything and has a lot of determination.”
“He’s a great player and has a lot of talent. We hope to help introduce him to something good, but he’s got everything already.”
For Mikey Moore, a youngster who has been a regular at Spurs, he has been in the first team since last season and has now made five appearances.
It occurred after an awkward exchange between Richarlison and Maddison, which eventually saw the Brazil forward allowed to take the spot-kick and chip home for his first goal since May, but it was the display of 17-year-old Moore that caught the eye.
After Moore moved to his favoured left-wing position at the start of the second half, he immediately burst past a handful of AZ defenders before he set up Brennan Johnson and regularly raced beyond Seiya Maikuma during a terrorising spell, which showed why boss Ange Postecoglou gave him a second start.
