U18s set for North London derby
John McDermott praised our Under-18s for their efforts at Liverpool at the weekend – and then challenged our youngsters to extend their winning run against Arsenal on Wednesday.
Joe Pritchard’s second half strike gave the lads a hard-fought 1-0 win at Liverpool Academy on Saturday morning, making it three consecutive away wins in the Barclays Under-18 Premier League.
Reflecting on Saturday’s win on Merseyside, Academy Manager John was particularly pleased with the lads’ defensive endeavours.
“It was a close game in conditions that were a bit breezier than we would normally get, so I thought that made it a little bit scrappy at times,” John said.
“In the second half we did a little bit better, but we showed a real desire and willingness to defend our goal. We didn’t really sparkle in the attacking third on this occasion, but I feel we did enough to win the game without being at our best.”
The fixtures continue to come thick and fast for the lads, with an away game at Arsenal on Wednesday next on the agenda.
John admitted squad rotation could come into play due to the busy schedule both sides are facing at present, but he backed whoever takes to the field to sieze their opportunity in the testing environment of a North London derby.
“It’s a time of the season where there’s a lot of games to play and a many clubs are now cramming matches in,” John added. “We’ve had a lot of fixtures and some lads are away on international duty so there are a few factors to take into consideration in terms of selection.
“But it’s obviously a local derby. Arsenal will be determined to beat us, we’ll be determined to beat them and both teams will be looking to play well. It should be a good game.”
Meanwhile, Saturday’s home Barclays Under-18 Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers will now kick-off at the earlier time of 11am

Arsenal U18s 1-3 Spurs - report from London Colney
http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/u18-arsenal-report-020414/
Harrison and Akindayini had us two goals to the good at half-time, with Oduwa adding a third after the restart as we triumphed 3-1 at the Gunners’ training facility, strengthening our position at the top of the Barclays Under-18 Premier League southern section standings.
In truth, we could have further increased the scoreline, but for some spurned chances. We were irresistible going forward at times, with the Gunners only afforded a goal from a corner towards the end of the contest.
It was Arsenal, though, who might have taken an early lead when Stephy Mavididi got forward three minutes in. Luckily for us, his fierce drive took a deflection and looped up onto the bar.
Harrison pulled an effort inches wide of the post on seven minutes after being played in by Cy Goddard for our first chance – and from that moment on we never looked back.
Kyle Walker-Peters scurried free behind Arsenal’s high defensive line to latch onto a long kick upfield from goalkeeper Liam Priestley but, after being forced wide by Priestley’s opposite number Ryan Huddart, his lay-off to Harrison saw the latter’s eventual shot nudged onto the bar and away.
The industrious Harry Winks curled a free kick wide of the target a minute later before Harrison finally broke the deadlock with 11 minutes gone. He intercepted a miscued goal kick from Huddart, passed sideways to Winks before controlling the return ball inside the area and sweeping low into the net from 12 yards out.
Oduwa shot straight at Huddart while Akindayini, an early substitute after Joe Pritchard was forced off, just couldn’t reach Winks’ cross-field ball as we continued on the front foot. Meanwhile, Kaylen Hinds’ effort at the other end was easy for Priestley.
The Gunners had their best spell of the game in the moments leading up to the half-time break. They had the ball in the net on 41 minutes when George Dobson latched onto Dan Crowley’s cross but a raised linesman’s flag saw the effort ruled out, while Walker-Peters was forced to make a goal-line clearance to deny Austin Lipman.
Full-back Channing Campbell-Young went close twice in quick succession for us with a header and then a shot, before we doubled our lead a minute into first half stoppage time. Roaming through the middle, Walker-Peters despatched an incisive pass which cut open the Arsenal defence and allowed Akindayini to surge in from wide on the right and guide the ball into the far corner with one perfectly-weighted touch.
We began the second half intent on adding to our lead, Akindayini seeing a rising shot blocked by a combination of two Arsenal defenders before Filip Lesniak lashed an effort just wide from the edge of the area.
It was 3-0 on 57 minutes when Harrison played the ball out to the left and found Oduwa, who cut inside and curled a shot inside the far post.
Three minutes later Oduwa pulled the ball back for Akindayini after we broke away down the wing, but it ran just behind the forward and he could only scoop it over the top with his trailing leg.
Anton Walkes got in on the act with a long-range effort which produced a fine save from Huddart, but the hosts sounded a warning when Hinds sent a glancing header just wide after Jack Jebb’s corner found him running in at the near post.
And it was from a similar aerial raid that the Gunners pulled a goal back on 79 minutes. This time it was Renny Smith who addressed the corner kick, with Dobson firmly heading home at the back post.
Our lads took it in their stride, with Harrison forcing a low save from Huddart three minutes from time as we moved the ball about with confidence in the closing stages.
Harrison’s cross from the right was diverted off target by Oduwa in the game’s last chance, but we’d already done enough to claim the North London derby spoils.
Spurs: Priestley, Campbell-Young, Pritchard (Akindayini 18), Lesniak, Carter-Vickers, Walkes, Walker-Peters (Miller 73), Winks, Harrison, Goddard (Ross 64), Oduwa. Sub (not used): Voss (GK).

Arsenal U18s 1-3 Spurs - John's verdict
John McDermott lauded the way our Under-18s kept themselves in the driving seat at Arsenal on Wednesday.
First half goals from Shayon Harrison and Daniel Akindayini were added to by Nathan Oduwa after the break, while a host of other chances went begging in our 3-1 victory in the Barclays Under-18 Premier League.
It was a satisfying afternoon’s work despite George Dobson pulling a goal back for Arsenal 11 minutes from time, with Academy Manager John left to reflect on the impressive way our lads moved the ball around.
“I was pleased with the way we played,” he summarised. “We always try and dominate possession and I thought we did that today.
“With this team you’re always looking for something a little bit extra and we probably had too many unfinished chances, but overall I was very pleased. We played well.”
Next Fixtures:
Saturday 5th April, Hotspur Way, KO 11:00: U18s Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Monday 7th April, Stadium of Light, KO 19:00: U21s Sunderland v Tottenham Hotspur

U18s set to host Wolves
Our Under-18s will be looking to bring their superb away momentum back to Hotspur Way when they host Wolves on Saturday morning.
John McDermott’s side has won four consecutive away games in the Barclays Under-18 Premier League – the latest of which was Wednesday’s fine 3-1 victory at Arsenal, where goals from Shayon Harrison, Daniel Akindayini and Nathan Oduwa gave the lads the North London derby spoils.
They also picked up maximum points from trips to West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United and Liverpool last month.
But having not played a home league fixture since mid-February, our youngsters will be keen to build on their recent run of impressive performances when Wolverhampton Wanderers visit the Training Centre this weekend.
Saturday’s match kicks-off at the earlier time of 11am.
