Vissel Kobe vs Tottenham LIVE! Friendly result, match stream and latest updates today

An impressive young and heavily rotated Tottenham side beat Japanese champions Vissel Kobe in Tokyo on Saturday.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have now made it three wins from as many games after victories against Hearts and QPR before Spurs embarked on their tour of Asia.

Spurs fell behind after Pape Matar Sarr’s intervention was intercepted by Yuya Osako, who fired the hosts in front. Pedro Porro would quickly level for the away side after brilliant work from Archie Gray and Dejan Kulusevski, before Heung-min Son put them ahead with a ruthless finish at the back post after the break.

The J-League side would level through forward Jean Patric’s strike, deflected off the covering Emerson Royal. Still, Spurs pushed for the winner to avoid a penalty shootout in the sweltering Tokyo heat and played some lovely incisive football, constantly going close as the game approached its end.

Young Mikey Moore would have the final say, tapping in Jamie Donley’s cross from the byline to continue his fine form this summer.
