PRE-MATCH | KEANO CONATY
“Midweek fixtures like this are brilliant for our development. To play against Category One teams like Spurs is only going to make us better.
“These games show us all different ways of playing and I honestly believe that we can go there and beat them on Wednesday.
“I thought the boys played outstanding football from kick-off to the final whistle on Saturday. We executed the game plan perfectly and even at the very end, we played excellently and kept a clean sheet.
“We worked on set pieces in training and so it felt great to get onto the scoresheet in that way.
“To win 7-0 over a strong opposition, we can take massive credit from that so hopefully we can take that forward.”

Shortly after, Josh Donovan in the City net, propelled forward a long ball that found the ever-clinical feet of Jack Sykes who half-volleyed the ball beyond Reynolds.

In the second half, Pedro Araujo worked his way cleverly down the right flank to find the feet of Evans who made no mistake in slotting home to make it five.
