Tottenham’s Young Guns Shine in Europa League Victory
For over an hour, it looked like another frustrating night for Tottenham. Struggling in the Premier League and failing to find their rhythm against Swedish side IF Elfsborg, Spurs fans were starting to fear the worst. But then, the kids took over.
Dane Scarlett, just 20 years old and freshly recalled from a loan spell, came off the bench and made an immediate impact. With the game still deadlocked at 0-0, Dejan Kulusevski sent in a cross, and Scarlett rose to meet it with a clinical header—1-0 Spurs. The relief inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was palpable.
And it didn’t stop there. Just moments after making his first senior appearance, 19-year-old Damola Ajayi found himself in the perfect spot to calmly slot home Tottenham’s second goal. A debut goal, a dream moment.

But the best was saved for last. Deep into stoppage time, 17-year-old Mikey Moore, a player already earning comparisons to Neymar, produced a moment of brilliance. A dazzling run, a composed finish, and just like that, history was made. At 17 years and 172 days old, Moore became the youngest English player ever to score in a major European competition, breaking a record that had stood since 1957.
The result? Tottenham 3-0 Elfsborg. More than just a win—it was a statement.
After weeks of poor performances and mounting pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou, this was the kind of night Spurs fans needed. No marquee signings, no big-money transfers—just three young academy products stepping up when their club needed them most.
Postecoglou summed it up perfectly: “Made in Tottenham.”
The victory secures Spurs’ place in the last 16 of the Europa League, where they will face one of Real Sociedad, Galatasaray, AZ Alkmaar, or Midtjylland. But beyond that, this game will be remembered as the night Tottenham’s future arrived.
