Tottenham 1-1 Sevilla LIVE! Pre-season friendly result, match stream and latest updates today
Tottenham vs Seville - LIVE!
Tottenham continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly match against Seville this afternoon. The tour of South Korea got underway with an entertaining 6-3 win over a K-League XI, in which Harry Kane and Heung-min Son both netted braces and Richarlison made his Spurs debut.
It’s a step up in quality now though for Antonio Conte’s side, though the players will be finding these matches far more enjoyable than the gruelling fitness sessions they were put through in Seoul. This is Tottenham’s last match of the tour, before they fly back home and then face Rangers at Ibrox next weekend.
Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster will once again miss out, after testing postive for Covid, while fellow new signing Ivan Perisic was absent last time out too due to a calf injury. He will be desperate to prove his fitness and fully get his Spurs career up and running. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!

Dan Kilpatrick’s talking points
14:38 , Jonathan Gorrie
Tottenham rounded off their pre-season trip to South Korea with a 1-1 draw against La Liga side Sevilla in Suwon.
Harry Kane and Ivan Rakitic scored crisp finishes in the second half in a high-intensity and surprisingly feisty friendly, which saw Ben Davies forced off in the second half following a clash of heads.
Full match report
14:35 , Jonathan Gorrie
Harry Kane and Heung-min Son once again proved the difference-makers for Tottenham during an entertaining 1-1 draw with Sevilla in Suwon.
The best action of the first-half came when Richarlison looked to tee up Ryan Sessegnon, playing the ball across the face of goal but just out of the reach of his teammate.

65:00 - Rakitic this time scores a beauty from outside the box!
CHANCE FOR SEVILLA!
13:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
56:00 - Rakitic, who has previous against Spurs, tries a first-time volley from outside the box (much as he did at Wembley in 2018) but fires it just wide.

Changes at the break
12:50 , Jonathan Gorrie
Almost certain most of the teams will be changed for the second 45.
HT: Tottenham 0-0 Sevilla
12:48 , Jonathan Gorrie
A pre-season friendly without goals at the break doesn’t exactly scream entertainment but this has been an enjoyable watch.
Son has gone closest for Tottenham while Lamela and Mir for Sevilla.
CHANCE FOR SEVILLA
12:44 , Jonathan Gorrie
41:00 - Awful mistake Hojbjerg plays Rafa Mir in but the forward cannot hit the target when under pressure from Eric Dier.
Great play Lucas Moura
12:43 , Jonathan Gorrie
40:00 - That’s what he gives you at RWB.
Winning the ball back high up the pitch, the Brazilian plays in Harry Kane but is eventually crowded out.
Lamela’s brilliant run
12:39 , Jonathan Gorrie
36:00 - Lamela evades a number of Tottenham defenders before Skipp tracks back well and robs him of the ball.
The former Spurs forward is growing into this game.
CHANCE FOR SPURS
12:35 , Jonathan Gorrie
32:00 - And the place nearly lift off the ground!
Sessegnon crosses for Son, who’s header was well-saved.
Drinks break
12:34 , Jonathan Gorrie
30:00 - And Conte is barking out instructions as if this was a Champions League game.
Richarlison getting the rough treatment
12:30 , Jonathan Gorrie
27:00 - Hojbjerg is NOT happy with the treatment Richarlison is getting.
DISALLOWED GOAL!
12:29 , Jonathan Gorrie
26:00 - Quick passing between Kane and Son force the Sevilla defenders to back off the England captain, who shoots from range past the ‘keeper.
Kane, however, came back from an offside position and it’s been ruled out.
A competitive affair
12:24 , Jonathan Gorrie
22:00 - A friendly it may be but Spurs and Sevilla aren’t pulling out of any challenges.
12:21 , Jonathan Gorrie
A debut for our brand new away kit 😍 pic.twitter.com/6aUOLcBk6O

Well defended!
12:20 , Jonathan Gorrie
17:00 - Lucas Moura might not be renowned for his defensive ability but does well to cut out the danger from a cross played between goalkeeper and defence.
Son tries his luck!
12:19 , Jonathan Gorrie
16:00 - Spurs’ superstar today, Son tries his luck from range but sees his effort creep just wide.
First Richarlison cross
12:15 , Jonathan Gorrie
13:00 - Richarlison plays a ball across the face of goal for Sessengon, who can’t quite reach it.
Skipp more involved
12:14 , Jonathan Gorrie
11:00 - Conte was often frustrated at Skipp’s injury problems last year and the England U21 international looks set for a big season.
Already, he’s getting on the ball and looking to spray out to the wing-backs.
Spurs drop back
12:10 , Jonathan Gorrie
07:00 - A good test for Tottenham, this.
Clearly, a pre-season friendly isn’t going to be the most competitive game in the world but Sevilla boast serious attacking talent and as Spurs drop deeper, it’s going to be a challenge to keep them at bay.
Spurs almost caught out
12:09 , Jonathan Gorrie
06:00 - Slopp from Dier on the ball and Sevilla are almost in behind. Got away with that one.
Friendly, what friendly?
12:07 , Jonathan Gorrie
04:00 - Richarlison complaining he’s been elbowed...
CHANCE FOR SEVILLA
12:06 , Jonathan Gorrie
04:00 - Ortiz gets a free header after a Gomez cross but can’t quite direct it past Lloris.
Lucas Moura watch
12:04 , Jonathan Gorrie
02:00 - Could Moura be getting the Victor Moses treatment? A deal for Djed Spence is reportedly close but the Brazilian is at right wing-back today.
Tottenham pushing early on
12:04 , Jonathan Gorrie
01:00 - Really interesting to see how Richarlison, Son and Kane all link up.
On paper, a very prolific frontline and they’ve set about Sevilla early, trying to box them in towards their own goal.
KICK-OFF
12:02 , Jonathan Gorrie
Away we go!

Erik Lamela starts for Sevillla
11:28 , Jonathan Gorrie
The former Tottenham star, a cult-hero for many, is back in action against his old club.
Lucas Moura at RWB?
11:19 , Jonathan Gorrie
#thfc Wondered last season if Conte was tempted to try Lucas at right wing-back (especially as he isn’t dissimilar to January target Adama). He gets a go there today, with Spence signed and Doherty & Emerson on the bench. Son, Kane, Richarlison front three.

11:15 , Jonathan Gorrie
Austin, Keeley, Tanganga, Fagan-Walcott, Davies, Sayers, Doherty, Royal, Bentancur, Sarr, White, Perisic, Gil, Kulusevski and Parrott all listed as substitutes.

Hugo Lloris gives his verdict on Clement Lenglet
10:59 , Jonathan Gorrie
Hugo Lloris has described new Tottenham signing Clement Lenglet as a “modern” defender with big club experience and says he is hungry to get back in the French national team.
Lenglet joined Spurs on a season-long loan from Barcelona last week and is expected to compete with Ben Davies as the left-sided centre-half in Antonio Conte’s back three.
The 27-year-old has won 15 caps for France, most recently in November last year, but has not been included in the last three Les Bleus squads after his form for Barcelona nosedived.

Oliver Skipp delighted to return for Tottenham
10:45 , Jonathan Gorrie
Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp was delighted to have finally made his return from injury during the club’s pre-season friendly win over a K-League XI on Thursday.
A pelvic injury derailed what had been a breakthrough campaign for the midfielder, ruling him out of action from January onwards as Antonio Conte’s side qualified for the Champions League.
The Italian is a huge admirer of the England U21 international and grew increasingly frustrated by his absence.

Djed Spence transfer: Tottenham close in on signing
10:23 , Jonathan Gorrie
Tottenham are finally set to complete the transfer of Middlesbrough‘s Djed Spence, with the full-back due at Hotspur Way for a medical today, writes Dan Kilpatrick.
The clubs have agreed a deal worth an initial £12.5m which could rise to £20m with add-ons, and Spence will sign a long-term contract with Spurs after rejecting interest from other clubs, including Nottingham Forest where he spent last season on loan.
Spence will be Spurs’ sixth summer signing after Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and Clement Lenglet, taking their spending close to £100m.

Prediction
10:13 , Jonathan Gorrie
As ever, it’s difficult to make a definitive judgement on pre-season friendlies. Still, with both sides boasting real attacking quality, it should be an entertaining affair.
3-3 draw.
Tottenham team news: Covid problems, Perisic a doubt
09:58 , Jonathan Gorrie
Conte is without new signings Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster after they tested positive for Covid.
Ivan Perisic also missed the game through injury and is a doubt once more due to a calf problem.
Skipp was finally handed a 45-minute run-out after missing six months of action and will surely be given more minutes as he bids to make a full return heading into the new campaign.
