00:00:00and international Vicario who's unavailable there's James Madison
00:00:07England international who spent some time on loan at Aberdeen in 2016-2017 actually didn't play
00:00:12against Hearts during that time though so this is his first appearance at Tyne Castle Park
00:00:18and there's a man that knows the ground very well Ange-Paul Sokoglou appointed last summer
00:00:22on a four-year contract after two very successful years at Celtic winning five trophies
00:00:27in that time up against a man who he's kept in touch with Stephen Naismith who's full of praise
00:00:33of Ange-Paul Sokoglou said he's been very helpful since they met as opposing managers
00:00:40and they have stayed in contact since. A very healthy crowd here at Tyne Castle
00:00:46for this pre-season friendly between Harton McLothian and Tottenham Hotspur
00:00:51and it's the Spurs who get us underway
00:00:57early work for Gerald Taylor to do right for the Hearts goal kick we do also have audio-only
00:01:03coverage for those in the UK for those tuning into audio-only coverage Hearts are in all maroon
00:01:08again today Spurs in their traditional white shirts with navy shorts and white socks
00:01:17Hearts shooting towards the Roseburn end where the Spurs fans are housed and Spurs
00:01:21towards Craig Gordon's goal in front of the Gorgie stand
00:01:38Spurs in possession on the left
00:01:42ball with Madison
00:01:43that unfamiliar central defensive pairing of Gray and Skip be interesting to see how that develops
00:01:50some unfamiliar positions for Hearts well not completely but Kai Rose has covered the left
00:01:55back but not his main role as Brennan Johnson picks up for Spurs on the right
00:02:03Gray plays it forward ball almost drops to Kulishevsky but eventually
00:02:08picked up by Frankie Kent
00:02:18Oliver Skip
00:02:20who's Dejan Kulishevsky on the right I thought he might be more to the left but looks like he's
00:02:44in position on the right side of that central midfield area just now he's Donnelly
00:02:54Spurs left of the Hearts box quick feet they're getting into the area it was Solomon but
00:03:01dispossessed and Hearts can get it clear for a throw but early possession in the opening two
00:03:04minutes there for the English Premier League club and Jimmy I'm sure we're going to expect a lot of
00:03:09that throughout this 90 minutes yeah you'd expect one or two certainly James Madison
00:03:14Kulishevsky probably going to get a lot of the ball George Grant and Kami Devlin have to be sharp
00:03:25here's Kami Devlin picking up the ball back now to Craig Gordon
00:03:30game mainly being played inside the Hearts half in the opening stages
00:03:34here's Oda though quickly closed down by young Jamie Donnelly the 19 year old forward playing
00:03:47fullback here's Pedro Porro slides it to the right to Johnson
00:03:59Spurs have possession on the halfway line just now Hearts with everyone behind the ball early on
00:04:05well caught out though by Gerald Taylor now bursting forward the Costa Rican
00:04:12flicks it to Tagawa right side of the box and he's offside and he really shouldn't have been
00:04:17there the Japanese it's good reading the game good aggressive defending there by
00:04:21Gerald Taylor bursting forward really kiosky Tagawa has to have watched the line better there
00:04:29yeah I would agree I think he knew he was going to go off so once he decides he's going to go
00:04:33offside just come back out the way and let the lad just keep going maybe try and get a corner out
00:04:36of it but certainly took the sting right out of that good promising move down that right hand side
00:04:41good play by Gerald Taylor who played in two of Costa Rica's Copa America games a late sub
00:04:46in an Illinois draw with Brazil and played the full game when they beat Paraguay 2-1
00:04:51seven caps now for his country it's a lone deal at the moment from Deportivo Saprissa
00:04:57in his homeland
00:05:00looking to see if he can impress like Kenneth Vargas did last season
00:05:06maybe got work to do here as Spurs come down the left Donnelly early ball into the box
00:05:10oh you go Kate almost caught out there by Heung-Min Son but that's what the weight of
00:05:17trouble and it's cleared by Taylor Tagawa battling for it tries to play inside to Danda
00:05:25blocked by Danda now the transfer Hearts with Forest edge of the box slips it to Jan Danda
00:05:33Danda on the angle onto his right foot looking for space across the Devlin and over the crossbar
00:05:40that was good work from Hearts there though Jan Danda involved
00:05:43slipped it to Kami Devlin first time shot flying over the crossbar that encouraged the home support
00:05:48yeah it's unlucky Kami Devlin he does the right thing I think if he takes a touch he might have
00:05:52been pressed but he takes it first time he doesn't get a good connection on it tries to keep it
00:05:55underneath the bar but certainly good footwork there from Jan Danda which I would expect because
00:06:00he looks very very comfortable on the ball as we know we've seen it when he was at Ross County
00:06:08over the last two years 79 appearances 18 assists and 12 goals in that time
00:06:13but Hearts have defending to do now Son flew past that time cut out by Hearts
00:06:18Forest bundled into by Son and that will be a free kick to the men in maroon
00:06:29127 caps for South Korea now Son Heung-min
00:06:36as I mentioned 27 goal involvements for Spurs last season
00:06:39outstanding player for the London side as Madison come forward on the left but challenged by Oda
00:06:46probably a throw to Spurs
00:06:50Basuba challenged by Tagawa
00:06:54no foul and the ball goes the way of Hearts we've played six minutes at Tyne Castle Park
00:07:00a sunny evening in Edinburgh Hart in the middle of the nil Tottenham Hotspur nil
00:07:06in Edinburgh Hart in the middle of the nil Tottenham Hotspur nil
00:07:10just a couple of very calm bits of defending there by Oyegoke
00:07:13apart from that one there famous last words he's giving away there now here's Kulasevsky
00:07:18good challenge though by George Grant and eventually cleared by Hearts but
00:07:22Jimmy Sanders attempting fate there is Daniel Oyegoke I was just going to say he was a couple
00:07:28of situations he was very very calm in a situation where I was quite panicky up here he was a bit too
00:07:33calm on that occasion he just took it to a different level there
00:07:39Spurs again looking to attack on the left Solomon
00:07:44Donley to Porro but first time ball was easily cut out by Kent in the end
00:07:51Hearts pick up with Cairo's early ball forward looking for Tagawa
00:07:56a little bit of a miscontrol there by Oliver Skipp and I think if Kioski Tagawa had been
00:08:02aware of it he might have been able to rob the makeshift centre back
00:08:07but he got away with it that time
00:08:13there's Archie Great
00:08:16who I distinctly remember picking out with you Jimmy Sanderson as the standout we played
00:08:21Leeds last season yep shows in the deal he's managed to get with Spurs who come forward now
00:08:27Brendan Johnson with a little flick in the box but again Hearts managed to
00:08:31repel the attack and come away with it Danda Forrest under pressure from Archie Great
00:08:40it's lovely play from Spurs in the middle Madison pass finds Son shot blocked by Oyegoke
00:08:47now Bissouma
00:08:54Son once more
00:09:00now Oliver Skipp picks up everyone apart from Spurs goalkeeper Austin now in the Hearts half
00:09:07here's Donley then the left chance to cross goes low blocked away by that man Oyegoke
00:09:12and it will be the first corner of the game and it goes the way of Spurs yeah they're
00:09:15very comfortable on the ball Spurs not going through Madison you'd expect that
00:09:22but it's a good test certainly an increase in standard from Saturday that's exactly what we require
00:09:30Bissouma
00:09:33Hearts sitting very deep at the moment following that corner Spurs
00:09:37patiently probing looking for the opening
00:09:41it's Pedro Porro
00:09:43Kulishevsky Hearts felt the ball had gone out and the Wheatfield stand side but play goes on
00:09:56I've seen Angposta Koglu teams
00:09:59before at Tyne Castle under Celtic are going to expect them to dominate possession
00:10:06move the ball around quickly patiently though
00:10:09though it's a loose pass in the end giving Hearts back possession not many options up the field though
00:10:18again Taylor who'd stepped out starts playing forward it'll go all the way through for the
00:10:23Spurs goalkeeper but General Taylor found himself in the left wing there and he's now
00:10:27yeah trotting back to right back yeah I'm just going to mention I don't know if he did it
00:10:30purposely or not he just came across with his runner and stayed where he was but
00:10:34he found himself in Cairo's area but he's certainly got himself back at his right
00:10:37throwback area now here's Brennan Johnson early ball into the Hearts box it
00:10:43zips across it but no takers for Spurs and eventually out for a throw
00:10:49Brennan Johnson is such a threat from those wide areas 10 assists last season joint most at Spurs
00:10:57maybe just a bit too much pace in that final ball on that occasion yeah I mean I'm all for putting
00:11:01the ball in first time I think it gives defenders less time to look at it and and decide what
00:11:05they're going to do but there was actually no one no one at all that was going to get on the end of
00:11:09that pacey crossing the box the and Danda dinks it forward Forrest takes it down well waits for
00:11:19some support it's a good challenge by Archie Gray though just needed someone else ahead of him
00:11:24as Cammy Devlin commits a foul on Basuma
00:11:29he's so composed though Archie Gray I think one thing I remember as well is he
00:11:33doesn't physically look like he's a teenager
00:11:39a dictated play like a seasoned pro last season despite having not made his senior debut for
00:11:46Leeds he's certainly want to watch for the future after Spurs shelled out what we believe is to be
00:11:5240 million pounds for him on the ball at the moment inside the centre circle slides it to
00:12:00the right to Johnson nice first time pass to Kulishevsky goes for the drilled cross
00:12:05but blocked by Grant the smash clear by Kai Rolls
00:12:12Pedro Poro wins it back for Spurs now Basuma
00:12:16snapping his Asilos as Cammy Devlin but Basuma holds him off
00:12:20Johnson run by Son to the byline just over hitting the end by Brennan Johnson
00:12:26certainly can see the free flowing play there from Spurs looking to open up
00:12:30hearts and I think it'll be a case of being patient in this one for hearts and looking to
00:12:35counter when the opportunity presents itself yeah you can see that certainly after this period that
00:12:40they have controlled a lot of the ball Spurs and you'd expect that there's a number of
00:12:44gifty football players down there in white and blue that's for sure
00:12:46long ball forward from Gordon
00:12:59off the head of Donnelly and out for a hearts throw inside Tottenham's half
00:13:06good chance for Jamie Donnelly just 19
00:13:08Stephen Naismith marking instructions came up against Spurs as an Everton player
00:13:21long throw from Taylor bouncing into the Tottenham box picked up by great
00:13:27and the goalkeeper did not want that pass back there
00:13:31Brandon Austin giving the ball right on his goal line and he goes safety first just knocks it clear
00:13:37and hearts have a corner really didn't mess about did he I mean all the cameras were seen from other
00:13:40Spurs players the goalie just it was a bit of a squeak he could have opened his body and come out
00:13:44the right back area if he was a wee bit quicker thought process but he just put it right out
00:13:49the park and that was no nonsense taken there Jan Danda plays the corner short to Grant
00:13:58back with Danda trying to play it back the way hearts have been forced back towards the halfway
00:14:04line though which will be frustrating for a few in the crowd but they're going again
00:14:09Danda plays it through Devlin after it chance for the cut back good sliding challenge
00:14:13and then the flag goes up against Kami Devlin
00:14:22has been playing a more attacking role at times under Stephen Naismith, Kami Devlin
00:14:26three goals last season couldn't beat the offside trap on that occasion and now Spurs have it
00:14:34back with Gray on the halfway line again 14 minutes on the clock Golas at Tyne Castle
00:14:54nice pass through Pedro Poro went to space cuts across the box and Taylor had to
00:14:59knock that clear before Manor Solomon got in at the back post good defending
00:15:05Spurs have a second corner yeah you seen it coming across it was a good
00:15:08good little passage play from Spurs they whip it around the corner he's got to be there
00:15:16Solomon once more
00:15:19gets it back from Madison whips the ball into the box evades everyone in the end
00:15:24that will just be a Harts goal kick signed on his five-year deal last summer the Israeli
00:15:31International Manor Solomon drifting into the back post but that man Gerald Taylor was there to deny him
00:15:42it's a nice ball from Poro that's good alert defending from Taylor
00:15:46I think the Harts fans will be reasonably impressed in the opening 15 minutes
00:15:49the good thing about it he's seen it from the opposite side of the park so he's got he's got
00:15:51enough time to know where his attacker is his opponent and get himself goal side and it was
00:15:56decent defending by Kiyosaki Tagawa breaks back to George Grant all the way back to Craig Gordon
00:16:08got a few seagulls around us at Tyne Castle again it was a bit of a problem against Orient on Saturday
00:16:13we actually had hawk noises being played over the PA system before kickoff to try and deter them
00:16:19might need to play them again soon as Basuma comes forward
00:16:22shot blocked by Frankie Kent bounces into the box
00:16:27in the end Craig Gordon the captain gives his teammates a shout and comes and collects
00:16:34Frankie Kent starting today after coming off the bench against Orient at the weekend
00:16:40Harts have been sloppy there eventually cleared through Oya Goke but Spurs pressing high and
00:16:48we're going to get plenty of that and Antropo-Socoglou team is
00:16:52constantly going to press high up the park I think yeah yeah no matter what the game
00:16:56whether it's pre-season or not yeah it's just your style isn't it it's as simple as that
00:17:01ball forward to Brennan Johnson first time ball to the box not a bad one but flicked away by Frankie Kent
00:17:07Donnelly putting Oda under pressure
00:17:11eventually back with Spurs though still controlling possession Kulishevsky it's on
00:17:18Donnelly putting Oda under pressure
00:17:22eventually back with Spurs though still controlling possession Kulishevsky it's on
00:17:30now to Solomon to try and get it back to Madison Oda back there helping out his
00:17:34defense still in the Harts box though Madison twisting turning curls in right-footed but
00:17:40it drifts wide of the far post in the end
00:17:43such a hard player to keep tabs on James Madison another 40 million signing last
00:17:48season from Leicester City nine assists last campaign as well as four goals
00:17:57seven caps for England as well now he's certainly come on
00:18:00leaps and bounds since his short spell in Scotland a few years ago
00:18:13here's Kulishevsky nice one two right side of the Harts box here chance to cross
00:18:18gets away from Kai Rose goes down very dramatically there and it will just be a goal
00:18:23kick I think he was outside the area anyway but not an awful lot of claims there from
00:18:29Dejan Kulishevsky the Swedish international I think that may suggest he knows he was being
00:18:35a trifle dramatic yeah yeah he's probably on the ground there yeah he's probably just
00:18:39understood that he's not going to get on the end of his little clip with his right foot
00:18:43I think that's going to go over the line so yeah little attempt to try and draw the
00:18:47referee's attention failed miserably Matthew McDermott not interested in that one and it
00:18:52will be a Harts goal kick 18 minutes on the clock now Harts nil Spurs nil
00:18:58Spurs nils Spurs
00:19:01all forward from Gordon
00:19:05bit of head tennis in the middle of the park almost drops to Kulishevsky picked up by George Grant
00:19:12maroon options now ahead of him out to the left of Forrest into the box on the angle Forrest blocked
00:19:17by Pedro Porro and that will be the second Harts corner yeah this is a run from George Grant he
00:19:23just needed somebody ahead of him he just he looked up and there was nothing that he just
00:19:27He did really well to compose himself, Forrest made the overlap on the left-hand side.
00:19:32Decent defending in the end from Spurs.
00:19:34JARAD DANDA WILL AGAIN TAKE THE CORNER, LEFT-HAND SIDE.
00:19:37EVERYONE BACK FOR SPURS.
00:19:44Danda whips it in, decent ball, flicked away at the near post,
00:19:47I think it was Oliver's skip, back into the danger zone, oh, that's hit out!
00:19:50And that's tipped away by goalkeeper Alston, I thought the flag might have been raised,
00:19:55but it will be another corner, and that's the biggest chance of the game so far.
00:20:00Well, he really needs to score, that's a wonderful save, I agree with you, I thought he was offside.
00:20:05No, I think it's because Oliver's skip is when he's stepping out quite late.
00:20:09I think that could be a good call by the assistant and Utara,
00:20:12Oda denied at point-blank range, that's a really strong hand by Brandon Alston.
00:20:16Super save there.
00:20:19Hearts corner, this time from the right, curled in.
00:20:22Missed by everyone on that occasion, though.
00:20:25George Grant tries to pick up, goes down, but no foul.
00:20:29Eventually the move breaks down, and the Spurs throw.
00:20:33Despite Spurs controlling most of the play early on,
00:20:36that's the best chance of the game so far, and it goes the way of Hearts.
00:20:40Yeah, if anything, any criticism, it's kind of central,
00:20:45if he just picks a side he's scoring, he's that close in that anything would go in the back of net,
00:20:50anything near the goalkeeper needs to be a really good save, and there was in that situation.
00:20:55Five goals last season for Utara Oda.
00:21:00General Taylor comes bombing forward, great run by the full-back,
00:21:04maybe just going a little bit too far, but he's won it back from Oliver's skip here,
00:21:08terrific perseverance, curled in,
00:21:10Tagawa volley wide of the right post!
00:21:14And General Taylor, at the heart of that, for the men in maroon,
00:21:18got the ball into the box, and Tagawa's volley just screwed wide,
00:21:22and it stays 0-0.
00:21:24Yeah, that's all about Taylor's aggression down that right-hand side,
00:21:27his pace, his willingness to knock it past people and get into a leg race.
00:21:30Tagawa really should score, it's a decent ball in,
00:21:33he's six, seven yards out, kind of central, he should be scoring.
00:21:36Now Spurs turn to come forward, little nutmeg on Oda by Kulishevsky.
00:21:41Good challenge though by Devlin to win it for Hearts,
00:21:43and then quick feet from General Taylor.
00:21:46He's had a very positive 21 minutes so far, as Kami Devlin was flying into a tackle there.
00:21:53And James Madison, and that was a little bit of rash there from the Hearts midfielder.
00:21:57GARY GILLESPIE He's had a couple of little nibbles at people.
00:22:02Ref, he's going to do well not to bring any cards out,
00:22:07but it's what Kami Devlin does, he likes taking in and around people.
00:22:12It's certainly been a little bit of a purple patch for Taylor in the last two or three minutes,
00:22:16super run down that right-hand side.
00:22:19That's a sore one for Madison, he had some injury concerns last season,
00:22:23missed a few months around the turn of the year.
00:22:27Such a creative force for Tottenham Hotspur.
00:22:34Some concerns for the away side at the moment.
00:22:43Catches him on the boot.
00:22:44GARY GILLESPIE Yeah, I think he just caught him on the instep.
00:22:46GARY GILLESPIE Think in a competitive game,
00:22:47there certainly would have been a card being shown there to Kami Devlin.
00:22:49GARY GILLESPIE I would agree.
00:22:50GARY GILLESPIE His fellow Aussie, Arjan Postakoglu,
00:22:53won't be too happy with his countryman after that one.
00:22:58Watching on from the sideline.
00:22:59He ended this first season in fifth place, Arjan Postakoglu.
00:23:02It was a marked improvement on the eighth place Spurs recorded the season prior,
00:23:07qualifying for Europe again,
00:23:08although he'll be disappointed to miss out on the Champions League
00:23:11by just two points in the end.
00:23:17Still James Madison receiving treatment.
00:23:22For Spurs.
00:23:30He's back on his feet, I think, Kami Devlin.
00:23:34He's now just going to go over and receive some instructions from Stephen Naismith.
00:23:42Moving a little gingerly, James Madison, but looks like he'll be okay.
00:23:45GARY GILLESPIE Yeah, I didn't think it was high up on the ankle.
00:23:47It looked like it was just in the instep.
00:23:48Still a sore thing.
00:23:49Let's hope he's all fine.
00:23:55Should I be reminding Kami Devlin it's a friendly match?
00:23:58GARY GILLESPIE No such a thing.
00:24:00GARY GILLESPIE Pull back in the tackles a little bit.
00:24:02GARY GILLESPIE No such a thing.
00:24:06GARY GILLESPIE I think in the VAR age, if that's competitive,
00:24:08they might be having another look at it, to be honest.
00:24:10Anyway, play goes on, 0-0 at the moment.
00:24:14Here's Johnson.
00:24:16Bissouma on the right.
00:24:18Once more, Hart's getting men behind the ball.
00:24:26Eventually, back with Spurs.
00:24:28It looked like Hart's might have a little opportunity there.
00:24:34Tottenham in possession now with Pedro Porro at right back,
00:24:37the Spaniard.
00:24:41Son.
00:24:43Nice slide-roll pass.
00:24:44Finds Johnson, first-time ball into the box.
00:24:46Cut out by Frankie Kent.
00:24:48Does have to concede the corner, though.
00:24:51GARY GILLESPIE Certainly Johnson doesn't mess about
00:24:52when he's in a wide area.
00:24:54Sometimes you lose somebody who doesn't.
00:24:56GARY GILLESPIE Ball cleared into the box early by Spurs,
00:24:58and Yandanda had to clear.
00:25:00No one up the field in Maruno.
00:25:03Hart were leaving a player up the field at the weekend,
00:25:05which isn't like them from corners,
00:25:07but later on in the game,
00:25:08it was a bit of a mess.
00:25:09but later on in the game,
00:25:10it was a bit of a mess.
00:25:11but later on in the game,
00:25:12it was a bit of a mess.

00:26:22Eison.
00:26:24Captain, Heung-Min Son, picks up again, midway inside the hearts half.
00:26:31Madison, Kulosevsky, looks for Son in the box, lovely move,
00:26:36Son's shot denied by Craig Gordon.
00:26:39Super flowing move there from Tottenham Hotspur,
00:26:43the captain at the heart of it, in on goal,
00:26:47and denied by the Scotland keeper to keep things at nil-nil.
00:26:52What a great save.
00:26:54If he picks a corner it's a goal, it's a lovely move,
00:26:58right throughout that Spurs move there, lots of flicks round corners,
00:27:02people really comfortable on the ball, he hits it central,
00:27:05it has to still be stopped by Craig Gordon, he does that really well.
00:27:08Brilliant play here, starts the move, midway inside the hearts half,
00:27:12nice link-up play, Kulosevsky slips it back to the South Korean,
00:27:17you'd put your money on him scoring from that range.
00:27:20Certainly with his left foot you think he's gonna open his body
00:27:23and go to Craig Gordon's right, it's really quite central,
00:27:26it's a good save, but you'd expect Craig to make that.
00:27:29If he just opens his body up and goes a wee bit wider to Craig's right-hand side,
00:27:33it's maybe a first goal.
00:27:38Former Bayer Leverkusen player Son,
00:27:41denied by Craig Gordon,
00:27:45but you'd certainly expect him to do better with that one.
00:27:49Spurs come forward now, Forrest driving down the left side,
00:27:52Pedro Porro with him.
00:27:55Back with George Grant, in line with the 18-yard box,
00:27:58Spurs get players back.
00:28:04Here's Yandanda, it's a back from Grant.
00:28:11Oyegoke spreads the play to Taylor.
00:28:15Loses out to Salomon that time,
00:28:18the move just breaks down there,
00:28:21but Alan Forrest got himself into a dangerous position.
00:28:24Couldn't quite find space for the cross.
00:28:31It's Kami Devlin, closed down by Kulosevsky,
00:28:34could be a chance here for Spurs,
00:28:36Maddison goes down under the challenge of Kami Devlin again,
00:28:39and that will be a free kick to Tottenham Hotspur
00:28:43That time it didn't look like there was an awful lot in the challenge,
00:28:46but enough to send Maddison to the turf,
00:28:49and this free kick is just over 20 yards out left of centre.
00:28:53You'd think it would be a Maddison area.
00:28:56Kulosevsky picking Devlin's pocket there,
00:28:59just being cute enough to work on his first touch,
00:29:02he's in and around him, robbing him.
00:29:07I'd be very surprised if anyone apart from James Maddison hit this one.
00:29:12Kulosevsky's come across for a wee debate about it.
00:29:15Good favour, the right foot of Maddison,
00:29:17nice position here if you can get it up and over the wall.
00:29:25So Maddison with the set play,
00:29:27it's went to eight and a half minutes played.
00:29:30Curled in, right into the heart's wall though,
00:29:33smashed clear.
00:29:36In fact, I think it was Frankie Kent who maybe took the full force of that one,
00:29:40who's been on the turf just now.
00:29:44Hard to middle of the nil.
00:29:46Tottenham Hotspur nil.
00:29:53Right into the face, I think, of Frankie Kent in the end.
00:30:11Only made his mark at Leicester City, did Maddison.
00:30:16Over 200 appearances, FA Cup winner,
00:30:18which is why he was eagerly sought and acquired by Tottenham.
00:30:30So at this point when Tottenham Hotspur were last at Tyne Castle in 2011,
00:30:34they were 3-0 up, so that's a marked improvement
00:30:36from a heart's perspective at this point in the game.
00:30:41That was the last meeting in Edinburgh,
00:30:43the side's 5-0, van der Vaart, Defoe, Livermore,
00:30:46Bale and Lennon the goalscorers.
00:30:47Second leg, nil-nil at White Hart Lane,
00:30:49but a much changed Tottenham side in that one.
00:30:54Tyne Castle meeting prior to that was in 1999,
00:30:57a 2-2 draw.
00:31:00Colin Cameron, Lee Macle for Hearts after Spurs had been 2-0 up.
00:31:05The Hearts team included the likes of Gilles Roussey,
00:31:07Thomas Flogel, Paul Ritchie, Steve Fulton, Gary Locke,
00:31:10and a certain Gary Wales.
00:31:13Spurs included Sol Campbell, Stefan Everson, David Gnola,
00:31:17and a very young Ledley King.
00:31:20We have a look at the Hearts bench there,
00:31:21Laurence Shankland back now after his break following the Euros.
00:31:26I'm sure he'll be keen to get on at some point,
00:31:28the 31-goal hero for Hearts last season.
00:31:32Still Frankie Kent down at the moment.
00:31:36I'm not sure if they're just making sure there's no possibility
00:31:38of a concussion there.
00:31:39He did take it full force in the face.
00:31:47Craig Halkett on the bench tonight.
00:31:49He started against Leitin Orion,
00:31:51but safe to say he looked a little rusty.
00:31:55Yeah, OK.
00:31:56Steven Naismith just waiting to see if a change is required.
00:31:59Frankie Kent is back on his feet.
00:32:02Gets the applause from the home supporters
00:32:04as he trudges to the sideline.
00:32:1015,500 here today.
00:32:12As I mentioned, 2,000 Spurs fans.
00:32:16Healthy crowd.
00:32:18In the...
00:32:20...in the...
00:32:22...in the...
00:32:23Healthy crowd.
00:32:25In the Edinburgh evening sunshine.
00:32:28Players resumed. Hearts down to 10 for now,
00:32:30and I think Frankie Kent will have to come off.
00:32:33Kai Rose has gone to the centre of defence for now.
00:32:41Hopefully that's just a precautionary measure,
00:32:43given it's a friendly today, taking Halkett off.
00:32:46Taking Kent off for Halkett, I should say.
00:32:49Here's Pedro Porro.
00:32:52Goes for the switcher play.
00:32:54Solomon nicely taken down, left side of the hearts box.
00:32:56Maybe a chance to cross, goes for the cutback.
00:32:59Eventually cleared by Kami Devlin.
00:33:02Only Tago up the field for now,
00:33:04which means Spurs will retain possession.
00:33:11Here's Donnelly.
00:33:13Manor Solomon.
00:33:15He's been dropping out to the wide area,
00:33:16allowing Donnelly to come central at times.
00:33:20Which is how Antropos Okolko likes to play.
00:33:24Look for the overloads.
00:33:27Pushing those full-backs into the central areas.
00:33:32Allowing space for others.
00:33:33Here is Donnelly into the box, goes for the cutback.
00:33:35Not a bad ball, but cleared by Ojugbele.
00:33:37There'll be a Spurs corner.
00:33:39And Hawks will now make the change.
00:33:47As I mentioned, his last competitive appearance
00:33:49was in February against Airdrie.
00:33:51Only lasted 26 minutes,
00:33:52not had an awful lot of football last season.
00:33:56This will be a test for him today,
00:33:58against the Premier League side.
00:34:01Solomon, looking for room.
00:34:03Goes for the one-two at Madison.
00:34:04Nicely worked.
00:34:07Hartz, carried him out in the end.
00:34:09Good play between Forres and Danda.
00:34:11And a lovely ball down the line to Yutaro Oda.
00:34:13Not much support for now.
00:34:14Tries to take it for a run,
00:34:15but dispossessed by Donnelly.
00:34:18Here's Ojugbele,
00:34:19trying to get the ball back.
00:34:21And Ojugbele,
00:34:22trying to get the ball back.
00:34:24And Ojugbele,
00:34:25trying to get the ball back.
00:34:26And Ojugbele,
00:34:27trying to get the ball back.
00:34:28Tries to take it for a run,
00:34:29but dispossessed by Pedro Porro.
00:34:33Very few options there for Yutaro Oda,
00:34:35unfortunately.
00:34:37Pedro Porro stood up well.
00:34:44Spurs have it back again.
00:34:46Bissouma to Kulishevsky.
00:34:49Home diagonal from Gray.
00:34:51Missed by Taylor that time.
00:34:52Solomon picks up.
00:34:55Moves onto his right foot.
00:34:56Twisting and turning.
00:34:57Looking for room.
00:34:59Good turn of pace,
00:35:00but Cammy Devlin there to cover.
00:35:02Hartz doubling up well
00:35:03and ensuring that space is restricted for Spurs
00:35:06when they do get into the final third.
00:35:08But conceded possession again.
00:35:13And Ojugbele,
00:35:14trying to get the ball back.
00:35:16And Ojugbele,
00:35:1810 minutes left in the first half.
00:35:24Holmes breaks to Son.
00:35:27Porro in there, goes down.
00:35:28No foul, says Matthew McDermott.
00:35:30And Hartz come away with it.
00:35:31Yutaro Oda.
00:35:35He loses possession now, though.
00:35:37Solomon.
00:35:38Son.
00:35:40Kulishevsky.
00:35:42Works it to Johnson in the box on the angle.
00:35:44Drives it goalwards,
00:35:45but well blocked by Kai Rolls.
00:35:47Nodded away by Forrest.
00:35:50Picked up by Tagawa,
00:35:51but deep inside his own half.
00:35:53And Ojugbele's won it back for Spurs.
00:35:56Right now, Hartz pushed back very deep.
00:36:02I think there's an issue with the ball, actually.
00:36:03A few of the players say maybe it's...
00:36:06They're not good enough yet.
00:36:08The ball's burst.
00:36:10Players on both sides were saying
00:36:11there's an issue with the ball,
00:36:12so it's not just Hartz.
00:36:15We need a replacement.
00:36:22The player resumes with that replacement ball.
00:36:25Goalless at Tyne Castle.
00:36:27Spurs controlling things, but...
00:36:31Hartz with a...
00:36:33couple of opportunities.
00:36:34They've had probably the best one of the game for...
00:36:38Oda.
00:36:39Although Heung-Min Son
00:36:40probably should have finished his chance as well.
00:36:42Here is...
00:36:43Oda.
00:36:45Danda, driving forward.
00:36:46Good overlapping run by Gerald Taylor.
00:36:48Right side of the Spurs box.
00:36:49Curls it in.
00:36:50Tagawa waits.
00:36:51Touches it wide.
00:36:53I'm not sure if the flag
00:36:54was going to go up anyway,
00:36:55but that was a big opportunity for the Japanese.
00:36:58Again, Gerald Taylor involved.
00:37:00Whipping it across the box.
00:37:04Tagawa just couldn't divert it goalwards.
00:37:06I thought he might have looked off
00:37:07when the ball came in,
00:37:08but either way,
00:37:09he probably should have finished.
00:37:10I think he's probably onside, Laurie,
00:37:12but you're absolutely right.
00:37:13He should be finishing those things.
00:37:15It's not a difficult thing in a sense.
00:37:17It's coming across as a good way.
00:37:18He's coming on to it.
00:37:19He just needs to get some kind of contact with it.
00:37:23Here's Pedro Porro for Spurs.
00:37:25Looks for Brennan Johnson.
00:37:26Running towards the by-line.
00:37:28Knocks it against Kyroles
00:37:29and wins Tottenham Hotspur their sixth corner.
00:37:32Again, it's played short.
00:37:35Back with Pedro Porro.
00:37:3625 yards out.
00:37:38Curls that cross in,
00:37:39but well over it.
00:37:41By the Spanish international.
00:37:43I think he'll go out for a throw-in in the end.
00:37:46Kiyosuke Tagawa
00:37:48with a golden opportunity there.
00:37:51He's got a chance.
00:37:52He's got a chance.
00:37:53He's got a chance.
00:37:54He's got a chance.
00:37:55He's got a chance.
00:37:56He's got a chance.
00:37:57He's got a chance.
00:37:58He's got a chance.
00:37:59He's got a chance.
00:38:00A golden opportunity there.
00:38:02Three goals last season,
00:38:03including that fantastic strike
00:38:06against Rangers on the final day,
00:38:07but that was really put on a plate to him
00:38:09by Gerald Taylor.
00:38:12Yeah, the more you look at it,
00:38:13the more you think it's...
00:38:14I know it's coming across
00:38:15to his weaker foot,
00:38:16his left side.
00:38:17He's got a big part up,
00:38:18and he just needs to get some kind of contact.
00:38:19Knock it towards goal.
00:38:20It's a goal.
00:38:21Here's Kulosevsky for Spurs.
00:38:23Rolls it to Johnson.
00:38:24Low across the box.
00:38:25Great sliding challenge there by Kyroles.
00:38:28Another corner for Spurs,
00:38:29corner for Spurs but Brennan Johnson's pace in wide areas is certainly starting
00:38:33to stretch that Hart's defence.
00:38:35Cairo's makes a really good sliding challenge here because if he doesn't get a
00:38:37contact on that you just don't know where that ball is going to go.
00:38:41Corner play short to Pedro Porro.
00:38:45Now Donnelly, curl into that pose, lovely ball, chance for Solomon, vital interception by Gerald Taylor.
00:38:52That was a delicious cross there from young Jamie Donnelly and it looked for a moment
00:38:58like Manor Solomon might just stroke that one home.
00:39:02Gerald Taylor again who's been really lively in his first half, I think just got a vital touch on it.
00:39:07Here goes Spurs again though, Maddison across the box and this time locked in.
00:39:12Denied moments ago Spurs but this time it's Brennan Johnson who smashes in from close range,
00:39:17well worked, James Maddison the architect with a cutback.
00:39:23Brennan Johnson who got five goals last season in his first Spurs season,
00:39:28really could make no mistake from a couple of yards out.
00:39:33And the Premier League club ahead now,
00:39:36part of it lovely and nailed Tottenham Hotspur 1.
00:39:38Yeah it was clinical, it was sharp,
00:39:40they had a little moment just before that with Cairo, slid in and cut the ball out,
00:39:43they're just trying to get that ball across the six yard line,
00:39:45a bit of pace with the opposite winger coming in, it worked and that's that moment there.
00:39:50But they've certainly been pro, they've been nice and neat and sharp in wide areas.
00:39:56Can't deny them their goal.
00:40:02Brennan Johnson finishing it off there.
00:40:05Almost £50 million in costs Tottenham Hotspur from Nottingham Forest last summer.
00:40:13You can see the quality there from the Welsh international.
00:40:16His heart's pick up there with George Grant, do they have a response here?
00:40:20Alan Forrest in the box,
00:40:21well blocked by Pedro Porro and it came back off Forrest, it will be a goal kick.
00:40:29He's found some room at times on that left-hand side, Alan Forrest.
00:40:34He has, he just needs to organise his feet a wee bit quicker,
00:40:36it's a nice ball out from George Grant,
00:40:39touches just a little bit, encouraging the full-back to make that sliding challenge in.
00:40:44Certainly Pedro Porro shows a clean pair of heels there getting back to cover that challenge.
00:40:51You might have anticipated it would be the other side,
00:40:54the Harts would get most of the joy, Gerald Taylor has certainly found some room,
00:40:58but so has Forrest.
00:41:01Here goes Spurs again with Solomon, early ball, looking for a Kingman,
00:41:05Solomon couldn't control it, and it rolls wide of the post.
00:41:09He should have done better with that one, the Korean, and he knows it.
00:41:12Yeah, what we said earlier, they don't mess about in wide areas,
00:41:14they get the ball into the box, good pace, it's maybe just slightly over-hit,
00:41:19does he expect a better touch? He probably does.
00:41:23It's one thing you'll get with an Ajax-Posta-Coghlan team,
00:41:27there will be spaces in those wide areas because of how high the full-backs tend to push on,
00:41:33but at the same time they get so many bodies forward that you've got to get the ball up the other end of the park first.
00:41:43Harts nil, Tottenham one, but it's safe to say Harts have performed a lot better today
00:41:46than what we saw against Leyton Orient on Saturday, especially given the calibre of opposition.
00:41:50But here's Pedro Porro coming forward again, and that was a poor finish in the end,
00:41:54well over the crossbar.
00:41:56Again showing those full-backs moving into the attacking positions,
00:41:59Pedro Porro this time ghosting in behind the Harts defence.
00:42:06And I thought he was a full-back, he got four goals last season,
00:42:09and he'll probably feel he should have done better with that one,
00:42:11he moved it onto his favoured right foot.
00:42:12He runs round the ball to get onto his stronger right foot,
00:42:15in a sense it's maybe a left-footed finish,
00:42:17but certainly again just the ball through Sorn there,
00:42:20a little flick round the corner, good movement from the full-back.
00:42:24Steven Naismith said it's that way of playing that he took to that he got from Ansh-Posta-Coghlan,
00:42:31we saw it very evidently when he first took over as Harts' interim boss.
00:42:37That's why he's kept in touch with the Aussie.
00:42:41It's Harts pick-up through George Grant.
00:42:44Now Yandanda, it was lively when he came off the bench at the weekend against Leighton Orient.
00:42:53And Taylor, again looks to drive forward,
00:42:56probably been Harts' best player in this first half, whipped into the area,
00:42:58flipped away by Archie Gray, drops to Forrest, still in the box,
00:43:02shot blocked away, pinging around in there, bit of pinball,
00:43:05Devlin volleys it goalwards, but...
00:43:07..just hanging a boot out at it, and it drifts wide.
00:43:12Certainly there's signs that Harts can get at that Spurs team at the back.
00:43:18Yes, another right-hand side, Gerald Taylor again doing decent wing play,
00:43:22getting the ball out of the box again, asking a question,
00:43:25this comes back to Devlin, who didn't look like he was set to play.
00:43:28Ball over the top towards Sorn, but offside that time.
00:43:34Free kick to Harts.
00:43:36They do have a rich history together.
00:43:40Harts and Spurs, first meeting coming in 1901, a 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane
00:43:45in a World Championship match between the Scottish and England Cup winners.
00:43:54It's Gerald Taylor, looks to come forward, well-covered by Oliver Skipp.
00:43:57Last Harts win against Tottenham was a friendly 1971-21.
00:44:01Still time for that today.
00:44:06Although Tottenham certainly look like they've got a few goals in them as well.
00:44:10Yandanda picks up on the right for Harts, midway inside Spurs territory.
00:44:13Plays a dance his way through, pops to Oda.
00:44:18Bit of a congested penalty area, eventually Spurs come away with it.
00:44:24Kulishevsky, Tagawa challenges, but Kulishevsky shrugs him off.
00:44:31Now Sorn, inside the Harts half.
00:44:34Manor Solomon.
00:44:37Heung-min Son continues his run, trying to skip away from Grant,
00:44:42who stood up well, got the challenge in.
00:44:44But it ricochets back off Sorn, and goes out for a Harts goal kick.
00:44:49Yeah, he's had a wee bit of defending there, George Grant,
00:44:51just behind Taylor in that wide right area.
00:45:01Approaching the end of the first half here.
00:45:04Brennan Johnson's goal, separating the side, set up by James Madison.
00:45:10There's been chances at both ends though.
00:45:13The bulk of possession held by Spurs.
00:45:24Solomon challenging Taylor, but out for a Harts throw.
00:45:31Here's Bissouma on the left,
00:45:33does well to slip it inside to Kulishevsky, and gets it back.
00:45:38Good build-up from defence, and out to the right from Spurs.
00:45:40Brennan Johnson racing after it, but just couldn't catch that Sorn pass.
00:45:46And will just go for a throw,
00:45:48and that might be the last meaningful action of the half.
00:45:53Indeed, no added time from referee Matthew McDermott.
00:45:57And a warm round of applause from both sets of supporters
00:46:00at the end of the opening 45 here.
00:46:04Hartmut Lothian have had a couple of chances themselves.
00:46:08Kyosuke Tagawa should have done better with one across the box.
00:46:12Yutaro Oda, his fellow Japanese, probably should have buried one earlier.
00:46:16At the other end, Hyungmin Son.
00:46:19The Spurs captain was denied by Craig Gordon,
00:46:21but that man on screen, Brennan Johnson,
00:46:23finished from close range after the cutback from James Maddison,
00:46:27who'd recovered from that clumsy challenge from Kami Devlin,
00:46:32to supply that ball and give his side the lead at the break.
00:46:36Certainly all to play for in this pre-season friendly in the second half.
00:46:40At the break, Hartmut Lothian nil, Tottenham Hotspur one.
00:46:53And Lawrence Shankland, 31 goals last season, 24 in the league.
00:47:19Returns to the field of play, was involved off the bench at the Euros.
00:47:24When Barry McKay, Hart's number 10 for the upcoming season,
00:47:28also coming on, he started against Leighton Orient at the weekend.
00:47:37So it looks like Shankland will go up top for Kyosuke Tagawa.
00:47:42Barry McKay comes in for Yutaro Oda for the second period.
00:47:53And I can tell you, Spurs have a raft of players in front of their bench,
00:47:56preparing to come on.
00:47:58They have, I think the majority of the subs that were warming up at halftime
00:48:02have just stayed on the park, just taken their training tops off, stayed on the park.
00:48:06I think there's 16 substitutes on the Spurs bench.
00:48:11I'll be disappointed if you don't get them all right, Laurie.
00:48:13So I will wait rather than stumble my way through them as it goes.
00:48:20Just have a look at who we can definitely see about to come on for Tottenham Hotspur.
00:48:25There's a lot of younger players on the bench, which I certainly won't have seen,
00:48:29and maybe a few Spurs fans won't have seen either.
00:48:31So a chance to get a look at some of them,
00:48:34as well as a few who've been in and out of the first team squad.
00:48:37So I'm just going to see if this might be a second half 11, like Leighton Orient had
00:48:44on Saturday.
00:48:47It does look like it, doesn't it?
00:48:50Certainly the goalkeeper has changed for the second period.
00:48:59I think it might be Alfie Wightman has come on in goals,
00:49:03in place of Brandon Austin, who made that terrific save
00:49:09from Yutaro Oda in the first half.
00:49:11But I will run through the Spurs changes
00:49:15on a nice list when we have them,
00:49:17but Hearts will get us underway for the second half,
00:49:20shooting towards the Gorgiens.
00:49:23Skipper Laurence Shanklin to get us started.
00:49:33Timo Werner is one of the players who is coming on.
00:49:37The on loan Leipzig man.
00:49:41Some recognised first team players in there.
00:49:45Hearts get us underway for the second period.
00:49:48Spurs will be shooting towards their supporters in the Roseburn stand.
00:49:54One of the substitutes, Ashley Phillips, the 19-year-old centre-back, gets his first touch.
00:50:02And back to Alfie Wightman, who's come on in goals.
00:50:10Oh, it's given away by Spurs.
00:50:11Shanklin, early chance, and he's scored!
00:50:1530 seconds after the restart.
00:50:18Welcome back, Laurence Shanklin.
00:50:21He does what he does best, finds the back of the net,
00:50:23but it's a disaster at the back for Tottenham Hotspur.
00:50:26And we're all square.
00:50:27Harteman-Lothian 1, Tottenham Hotspur 1.
00:50:31I'm thinking it's Emerson Royale, who just tries to be a wee bit fancy there.
00:50:36And it gets cut out, and it's an easy finish in the end.
00:50:38You'd expect Shanklin to finish six, seven yards out, centre the goal.
00:50:42He tries to pop around the corner there.
00:50:47Shanklin, not gonna miss from that opportunity at that distance.
00:50:52It's a calamity at the back for Spurs.
00:50:57Danda is touching the ball to Shanklin,
00:50:59who played it low past the goalkeeper.
00:51:02And just like we had on the weekend,
00:51:03a goal in the opening minute of the second half,
00:51:06this time though it goes for Hart.
00:51:08Went for Orient on Saturday.
00:51:16More level.
00:51:19So, looking at the team for the second half.
00:51:27Just seeing if any players did make it.
00:51:29But I think...
00:51:33We have got a full change of 11.
00:51:35Wightman, Spence, Royale, Phillips, Robson, Hall, Bergwald, Devine,
00:51:39Moore, Lancashire and Werner, the Spurs' second-half team.
00:51:43Here's Jan Danda.
00:51:46Lost out to Jed Spence, the 23-year-old full-back.
00:51:50One of those changes.
00:51:52And now back with Spurs, with Phillips.
00:51:55Right to the left of Werner.
00:51:57Skips in past Taylor.
00:51:59Challenged by Devline.
00:52:01It will break back to Spurs though.
00:52:02It was...
00:52:05...an opportunity there, but it's broken down.
00:52:07I think it was Lancashire trying to pick up.
00:52:10Eventually won back by Cami Devline.
00:52:12Here's George Grant, nice little drop of the shoulder.
00:52:15Hart's looking to push forward on the break.
00:52:18In the end, it's back to Kai Rolls.
00:52:24And now Zander Clark.
00:52:26Given away to Spurs on the right.
00:52:33Nice quick feet there from Alfie Devine.
00:52:40Back with Emerson, Royale at the heart of that
00:52:44issue at the back there, the Brazilian international.
00:52:47One of the more experienced players on the field for Spurs in the second half.
00:52:51Tottenham in possession just inside the Hart's half of the field at the moment.
00:52:54The home side get men behind the ball.
00:52:57Phillips inside the centre circle.
00:53:00Confirmation of the changes on screen now for both
00:53:04sets of teams, at least the Hart's ones anyway.
00:53:07I'm sure our graphic guys are still furiously trying to put together all those Spurs changes.
00:53:13Chance here for Bergwaal, who
00:53:16drags that one well wide.
00:53:18Promising player, already an international.
00:53:22No real purchase behind that shot though.
00:53:24Here's Taylor for Hart's.
00:53:27Passed by Yandanda, but so far the Hart's fans were really pleased with what they've seen from
00:53:34Taylor.
00:53:38And now it's back to the Spurs on the right.
00:53:40The Hart's fans were really pleased with what they've seen from Taylor.
00:53:48In a position which Hart's really need to strengthen right back.
00:53:55Here's Yandanda, left hand side.
00:53:58Back to George Grant, Spurs get men behind the ball this time.
00:54:04Grant steps away from Bergwaal, tripped by the teenager.
00:54:09Hart's free kick.
00:54:11Yeah, Taylor was exceptional in that first half, wasn't he?
00:54:15Up against Mara Solomon.
00:54:17He's now got Timo Werner there.
00:54:22Here is Taylor, midway inside the Spurs half.
00:54:24Barry McKay,
00:54:26takes the ball down the line, ricochets off Devlin and out.
00:54:34Nice turn on the ball by Tyrese Hall.
00:54:38Spurs with a bit of space on the right hand side.
00:54:41Running into it is Mikey Moore.
00:54:52Tempo just dropping a little bit out there, five minutes into the second half.
00:54:55Sometimes inevitable with all those changes, takes a little bit of momentum out of the game.
00:55:03A little bit of space here on the right for Alfie Devine again.
00:55:07Hart's sitting quite deep just now though, restricting the room.
00:55:10For Tottenham Hotspur.
00:55:21It's back with Royale.
00:55:26Now the ball out to the left to Timo Werner.
00:55:29Overlapping run down the line came from Max Robson.
00:55:33Eventually the ball does make a swing to the Hart's box but picked up by George Grant.
00:55:37And now Yandanda.
00:55:39A backheel probably wasn't the right choice there and it's back with Spurs with Timo Werner.
00:55:44Lone contact was extended at the end of last season.
00:55:48They have an option to buy for the German, eight and a half million.
00:55:55Spurs work it to the right of the Hart's box here.
00:56:01Shankard challenging Devine.
00:56:04Eventually back with Royale.
00:56:07Everyone apart from goalkeeper Wightman currently inside the Hart's half of the field.
00:56:12Werner in the wide position.
00:56:14Looks to take on Taylor.
00:56:16It's a good test of the Costa Rican in the second half.
00:56:20Loose pass by Werner.
00:56:22Now here's Barry Mackay.
00:56:24Taylor.
00:56:26Sliding in was Hall.
00:56:32The Harts will look at the teams in the second half and feel there is an opportunity.
00:56:36Certainly a far weaker Spurs team without a doubt.
00:56:39Far more inexperienced in the second period.
00:56:41Yeah you'd have to concede that but again they look like under Prostokoglou just controlling the ball.
00:56:48All very comfortable in position.
00:56:51I'll say that the late and orient second team didn't do too badly in the second half.
00:56:54They were excellent weren't they?
00:57:01I talked about the tempo in the first half.
00:57:02It's certainly pre-season friendly tempo in the second so far.
00:57:07It's a nice flick though.
00:57:08Chance for Spurs.
00:57:09Flipped away by Oyegoke.
00:57:10It was Max Robson dashing into the box.
00:57:16Chance again Bergwalt at the byline.
00:57:19Opportunity to cross goes back the way though.
00:57:22Ball into the area.
00:57:23Blocked away.
00:57:25Harts could get away cleanly but they've picked up now.
00:57:29Barry Mackay finds Yandanda.
00:57:37They're back with George Grant.
00:57:39It's loose though.
00:57:40And now a chance for Spurs to come forward with Spence.
00:57:47The attempted cross eventually from Blankshire.
00:57:54In for a throw.
00:58:06Emerson Royale.
00:58:15Spurs just knocking the ball around at the moment.
00:58:19Harts quite happy to let them do so.
00:58:23Maybe not quite the same punch in that Spurs team without the likes of Madison,
00:58:26Kulishevsky, Son.
00:58:29They found Timo Werner here in a bit of room out on the left.
00:58:32Back into the box.
00:58:35Picked up well by Harts.
00:58:36Yandanda looks for Shankland.
00:58:39Can't get away from Ashley Phillips though.
00:58:43So from a Spurs perspective as well this is a good test for some of these youngsters in
00:58:46the second half and they've worked out to Timo Werner again.
00:58:50Takes on Taylor.
00:58:51Drilled across the box.
00:58:52Vital interception from Craig Halcott.
00:58:56Good work from Timo Werner.
00:58:58We know he can do and that was a real teasing ball into the six yard area.
00:59:01It was.
00:59:02Craig Halcott a bit pleased with that defensive clearance there.
00:59:05Werner's got pace, hasn't he?
00:59:07Here he is again, the German.
00:59:09Finds Royale edge of the box.
00:59:12Bergwalt slipped into the area towards Spence but really good covering from George Grant.
00:59:19Tried to play it out though and almost got Harts into bother.
00:59:22Eventually cleared up the field but not many options in Maroon further up the park right now.
00:59:29Spurs go again.
00:59:30Slipped into the box.
00:59:31Chance here and it's slipped into the bottom corner.
00:59:35It's William Lancashire who finishes well.
00:59:40Nice move from Spurs.
00:59:46The youngster slipped in and it's a really cool finish there.
00:59:53I think it was Jed Spence at the heart of it.
00:59:57They've had a lot of the ball in the second half that younger Spurs team.
01:00:02They've made it count with that run from Lancashire and it's an excellent finish in the end.
01:00:07Yeah, it is.
01:00:09He just comes in at the back of Craig Halcott there, I think.
01:00:12Where you go keep playing him on.
01:00:14It's a nice easy finish in the end, isn't it?
01:00:15He just needs to hit the target.
01:00:17He'll be very comfortable in the second half.
01:00:19This second string from Spurs have moved the ball really nice and neat.
01:00:24Former Arsenal and Sheffield United youngster William Lancashire, still just 19.
01:00:28Showed good composure there though.
01:00:32And restores Spurs' one goal advantage.
01:00:36The ball came just from a clearance from George Grant in that bottom right-hand corner.
01:00:38Just tried to get a bit of length on it, try to get Harps out of their box, so to speak.
01:00:44But it came back very quickly.
01:00:51Here's Danda driving forward on the left.
01:00:55Forest overlapping, Danda comes inside.
01:00:59Eventually breaks to Taylor on the edge of the box.
01:01:02Onto his left foot, low shot, but fairly comfortable save in the end for Alfie Wightman.
01:01:13And he's certainly sure he likes to get forward.
01:01:18Gerald Taylor.
01:01:28Here's Bergwalt.
01:01:37Here's Barry McKay inside the centre circle.
01:01:39Slips it through, looking for Devlin.
01:01:40Maybe an opportunity here for Harps.
01:01:42Jan Danda, first-time ball.
01:01:44Locked away by Ashley Phillips.
01:01:48Some claims for Hamm ball, it will just be a corner kick.
01:01:52Yeah, it's in and around his midriff, it's probably the right decision.
01:01:56But it was a good ball in, that's what Danda needed to do, get it in first time.
01:01:59Shanklin was bearing down on that penalty spot, just needed a better ball.
01:02:06Harps corner from the right, in front of the Gorgie stand.
01:02:11Jan Danda stands over it.
01:02:18Whipped into the near post, it's not a good corner but it ricochets around between
01:02:22two Spurs players.
01:02:23Eventually finds its way into the hands of Wightman.
01:02:26Some more Hamm ball claims there,
01:02:28and the kick from the goalkeeper is really poor eventually.
01:02:3358 minutes in, Harps 1, Spurs 2.
01:02:35But that was a slightly nervy moment from what actually wasn't the best of corners.
01:02:46Spurs looking to come forward on the right, ball into the box.
01:02:48Wagshead again, left foot shot, blocked by Oyegoke.
01:02:52Eventually picked up by Devlin, and it might be a chance here for Harps on the break,
01:02:57with Spurs committed forward.
01:02:59Barry Mackay to Danda, slowing things around a little too much,
01:03:03and it's good tracking back in the end from Max Robson.
01:03:07Will just be a throw to Hartlewood-Lothian.
01:03:10Yeah, wouldn't have a broke the pace, did we, through Danda or Mackay there?
01:03:13We didn't look like we wanted to get up the park with any purpose.
01:03:22Barry Mackay leaves the throw to Taylor here.
01:03:26You can see a few Harps subs starting to prepare themselves as we approach the hour mark.
01:03:37Ball back with Alfie Wightman again.
01:03:40I'm sure we'll start to see plenty of maroon changes,
01:03:54I'm just trying to keep an eye on who's going to be coming on.
01:03:56We'll get another look at Moussa Dramme for sure,
01:03:59as Harps give away again, chance for Werner, great block by Oyegoke.
01:04:03Still alive for Spurs.
01:04:05Alfie Devine, now on the angle,
01:04:09there's Max Robson with the shot in the end, but Hart's blocking away.
01:04:12Both sides a little sloppy in defensive areas in the second half.
01:04:15Yeah, George Grant trying to get across his own 18-yard line there with a poor pass.
01:04:23Here's Alfie Devine, right side of the box,
01:04:25slips it into the area, Lancashire trying to turn, does well,
01:04:27right-foot shot blocked again by Oyegoke.
01:04:30Still alive for Spurs, back to Lancashire again.
01:04:33Through a few players and eventually blocked by Rolls,
01:04:35but Hart's pinned back at the moment.
01:04:39Bergwalt.
01:04:44Devine with a cut back and eventually knocked clear by Kai Rolls,
01:04:48but Hart's can't get out at the moment.
01:04:50Tottenham Hotspur get a grip of this game after going 2-1 ahead.
01:04:58Spence to Bergwalt.
01:05:02The ball lashed in on the angle, flying.
01:05:07Off target at the end from Mikey Moore.
01:05:11But Spurs' second-half team just starting to fill with confidence after that second goal.
01:05:26They go again here, Timo Werner,
01:05:28couldn't get to the byline, but Hart's pick up this time.
01:05:33Here's Barry McKay, almost dispossessed but there was a foul in the corner,
01:05:37and that might well give Hart's the chance to make some changes here.
01:05:54There's Fittell, one of the players who's going to be coming on,
01:05:57some are signing for Motherwell.
01:06:09George Grant, one of those going off.
01:06:11I can see Macaulay Tate also coming on.
01:06:15Jan Danda will be one of the other players to be replaced.
01:06:19I think James Wilson and Aaron Denham will make their way into the fray.
01:06:26I see Gerald Taylor and Cami Devlin also going off.
01:06:34Warm round of applause from the home fans for the departing players,
01:06:36I think Taylor in particular.
01:06:37Yeah, you can see he's been the best past clearance shot this evening,
01:06:42no question about that, defended really well, got fouled really well,
01:06:46put some superballs into the boxes.
01:06:47So now a much changed team for Hart's as well.
01:06:59Shanklin battling for that long ball forward.
01:07:06Spurs win the throw, 62 and a half minutes played,
01:07:08Hart in with Lothian 1, Tottenham Hotspur 2.
01:07:17I've got a space here for Jed Spence to drive into,
01:07:26slips it down the line, continues his run here,
01:07:29goes for the cut back, blocked away though by Hart.
01:07:33Linking up with Mikey Moore on that far side,
01:07:35eventually it falls though to Xander Clark.
01:07:48Didn't get an appearance at the Euros,
01:07:51Argus Gunn of course Scotland's number one at the moment.
01:08:02Hart's free kick out on the left-hand side, trailing by that one goal.
01:08:18Xander Clark looks like he launches forward as Ange-Paul Sokoglou watches on.
01:08:22Ten matches against Hart's as Celtic boss,
01:08:25lost one of them, his first one here at Tincastle three years ago,
01:08:28but won the next nine as Shanklin comes forward on the right.
01:08:33Spittle, Shanklin flicks it inside but giving it back to Spurs on that occasion.
01:08:39There's Timo Werner.
01:08:43It's a poor pass that time by Werner.
01:08:45Straight out of play for Hart's throat.
01:08:52Didn't do too badly last season, two goals against Palace and Villa, Timo Werner.
01:09:03Another chance to impress this campaign to see if he can win a permanent deal
01:09:09at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
01:09:15Spurs in possession, Emerson Royale now at centre-back alongside teenager Ashley Phillips.
01:09:25Spittle looks past that time though, picked up by Bergwalt.
01:09:35The Tottenham fans behind the goal, just over 2,000 of them looking to
01:09:39achieve their team up in the second half.
01:09:43Pre-season friendly lull, they're on the attack now.
01:09:54Bergwalt, Hart still pretty content to stand off Tottenham and let them have most of the possession here.
01:10:00Ball through, Bergwalt picking up, slips into the area, chance here for Spurs again.
01:10:11Mikey Moore twisting and turning, that's a nice finish in the end.
01:10:15And it's 16-year-old Mikey Moore at the end of a free-flowing Tottenham Hotspur move,
01:10:23the manager appreciates that, and the youngster seriously enjoying himself in front of the
01:10:29travelling Spurs fans. Quick feet in the box, and the low right-footed finish past Xander Clarke.
01:10:36And it's Hart at the low they want, Tottenham Hotspur 3.
01:10:39Yeah it's just slick isn't it, as soon as he drove into the box there the alarm bells were going off
01:10:43and all he needs to do really is just keep it down and hit the target in that far corner, he does that
01:10:47really well doesn't he, as soon as he comes in, cuts back on his right foot and lovely little finish
01:10:52to the far corner. And they're looking slick, Spurs they're knocking it about really well.
01:11:00Yeah the youngster is really settling into this game now.
01:11:12And I think it'll be a substitute, one for a substitute for Spurs,
01:11:18William Lancashire's got his goal and he's replaced by Alejo Valiz.
01:11:25So we're in that position that we had on Saturday where the subs are coming on for the subs now.
01:11:30Argentinian, Valiz got a goal last season for Spurs.
01:11:36Against Brighton, promising South American,
01:11:40it looks like he will now lead the line for the final 23 minutes.
01:11:52Phillips plays it to Werner, blocked off by Aidan Denham.
01:11:56Talks with a few youngsters of their own out there of course, one of them being
01:12:01Macaulay Tate, sitting role midfield, James Wilson up front, a very promising forward.
01:12:07Aidan Denham is caught offside there, still young himself, you almost forget that after
01:12:14playing such a pivotal part last season, 25 appearances Aidan Denham, still only 20.
01:12:20Alejo Valiz now leading the line, he was on loan at Sevilla for the second half of last season.
01:12:32He'll be looking to try and force his way into the first team squad
01:12:36under Ange Postacoglou this campaign, especially with European football now.
01:12:42Back for Spurs, coming forward now with Timo Werner, across the box, dangerous ball and again
01:12:47Craig Halkett taking vital evasive action. Yeah you can see the pace of Werner there on
01:12:53that left-hand side, again it's that good area that Craig Halkett takes up.
01:12:59Eventually the ball finds its way to Xander Clark thankfully from a heart's perspective.
01:13:04We're going to get some more changes in a moment.
01:13:18Ball forward, almost a dramat, couldn't get that one under control.
01:13:26Oh yeah, Goki goes off and it's Lewis Nielsen making a return
01:13:49for Hearts, the 21-year-old who was on loan at Portic Thistle last season.
01:13:56Bailey Dahl comes on, he also came off the bench against Leyton Orient.
01:14:01Another chance for a 20-year-old who settled in pretty well,
01:14:06I thought in that game against the league one side. Yeah, looked quite comfortable.
01:14:15So Dahl to left-back, Nielsen to centre-back.
01:14:18I think we now are in the position of no players that started the game being on the
01:14:22field for Hearts. Craig Halkett of course came on during the first half for Frankie Kent.
01:14:33All change at Tancastle Park and it does show in the tempo of the game but still 20 minutes left,
01:14:39four goals so far, three for Spurs, one for Hearts. No surprises for guessing the Hearts
01:14:44goalscorer, Laurence Shankland. Brennan Johnson got things up and running for Spurs in the first
01:14:49half and goals from youngsters William Lancashire and Mikey Moore in the second period.
01:15:02Bergwoude dropping deep here
01:15:06for Spurs.
01:15:08They've kept control of possession despite all the changes and the
01:15:12relatively inexperienced nature of the side they have out there now.
01:15:25Coming forward down the left, ball to Timo Werner, looks to take on Denham.
01:15:31Into the box, cut out by James Wilson, getting back there to help out his team.
01:15:35I've seen it here in Denham in that right-sided defense role that Hearts have been
01:15:39trying out. He has played plenty of times before, especially when he was
01:15:45playing in the younger levels.
01:15:51Decent test from up against Timo Werner who's currently hovering behind him in a bit of space
01:15:54as Spurs come forward in the centre. It's played into that space to Werner now.
01:15:58In the box, onto the left foot, across the area and it's touched in.
01:16:04And that's a fourth for Spurs and it's Jed Spence
01:16:07who just knocks it over the line from close range. It was that room that I was talking about,
01:16:11that Timo Werner was hovering in in this wheatfield stand side and he exploits Aidan Denham,
01:16:18cuts the ball across the box.
01:16:20And it's Jed Spence, the full-back, off the bench at half-time, who just slides in
01:16:26to divert it goalwards. That certainly puts to bed any doubt about the result on his friendly.
01:16:33Hearts 1, Spurs 4.
01:16:36Yeah, it's too much of a gap between Aidan Denham and Werner on that right-hand side.
01:16:42He doesn't really engage until he's in the box and then he's under pressure.
01:16:46He gets the ball in between the post and Craig Halcutt, who's cut a few out at that area,
01:16:51but once it goes past him in there and passes under the clock, it's an easy tapping in the end.
01:16:55It's only got six appearances for the senior team so far, 23-year-old Jed Spence,
01:16:59but was signed two years ago from Middlesbrough for a reported £20 million.
01:17:03And it's a tough one for Spurs, it's a tough one for Aidan Denham,
01:17:07was signed two years ago from Middlesbrough for a reported £20 million.
01:17:13Loaned out to Leeds United in Genoa last campaign,
01:17:15but another who'll be hoping to force his way into Andrew Postakoglou's plans.
01:17:23On the scoresheet in what has been a pretty dominant second half for Spurs.
01:17:30Hearts start in the second period brightly, but since then the youngsters have taken over.
01:17:35Now both sides with a fairly inexperienced team in many ways, with Dal, Wilson,
01:17:43Tate, even Nielsen and Denham still relatively young at the back for Hearts,
01:17:47so both teams giving some good experience to a few players.
01:17:50There's Bergwalt.
01:18:04Slip through the centre.
01:18:07Now Timo Werner picks up again.
01:18:10Run from Villies.
01:18:13A bit challenged by Denham that time, Fulstead Ramey.
01:18:15Spittal, goes down by Werner out for a throw.
01:18:24Spittal, big hopes for him this season for Hearts,
01:18:28after 13 goals and 11 assists last season in all competitions for Motherwell.
01:18:35Certainly been playing a deeper role for Hearts in the couple of friendlies we've seen,
01:18:40but I don't know if that's partly because there's so many options for Hearts in the
01:18:43supporting area.
01:18:46I would say when I've seen him he looks, he's at best maybe a number 10.
01:18:49Yeah, you're right, you know, setting apart going forward, just in behind the nine, yep.
01:18:53He has had a couple of performances here that he's been slightly deeper.
01:19:0116 minutes left on the clock.
01:19:07Hearts in possession at the moment.
01:19:08Lewis Nielsen closed down and Craig Halcutt has to go back the way it is under Clark.
01:19:16Who's Bailey Dahl?
01:19:21Blocked off by Mikey Moore.
01:19:25Steven Naismith.
01:19:28Again, we said against Leyton Orient on Saturday,
01:19:30don't really read too much into performances and results in friendly matches, but
01:19:34I'm sure plenty for him to ponder of what he's seeing out there, both positive and negative.
01:19:43Hearts have a game away to Fleetwood to come, in terms of recognised friendlies that are
01:19:49played with fans before they play Rangers on the Saturday following, 3rd of August.
01:19:56Spurs will play Vissel.
01:19:59Following 3rd of August, Spurs will play Vissel Kobe.
01:20:07In Japan, Yutaro Oda's former team on the 27th of July, before that Friday night they play QPR.
01:20:14A couple of games in South Korea, one of them against Bayern Munich before they end their
01:20:18pre-season at home to Bayern Munich. They start their league season away to Leicester City on the 19th of August.
01:20:24Ball forward from Royale, cut out by Nielsen.
01:20:31Back with Spurs though, and again Timo Werner's found a lot of space on the left-hand side.
01:20:36Werner, takes on Dramat, across the box, lovely spin here.
01:20:40And Valise just couldn't get the ball out of his feet.
01:20:42Chancelon, right foot shot on the end from Alphie Devine.
01:20:46Blocked away by Hearts, they're hanging on a little bit.
01:20:50They've got going in the second half as James Wilson tries to play it forward, blocked by Royale.
01:21:00You would actually say Hearts look better against that stronger Spurs team in the first half.
01:21:07And if Valise had sorted his feet out there from that ball for Werner, it's goal number five.
01:21:11He just got caught underneath him and he couldn't have sorted his feet out before it was defended.
01:21:17But you're right, we've kind of completely backed off now and we're second in all departments.
01:21:26It was Bergwalt on the right-hand side, slides a pass through.
01:21:30Chance again, Spence onto it, across the box, chance for Valise again.
01:21:34And it's over the bar, Jed Spence looking to turn provider that time.
01:21:39Low ball across the box, and Alejo Valise sliding in.
01:21:46Way over the crossbar in the end, he's got a bit of blood there on his nose.
01:21:51I'm not sure the incident that led to that.
01:21:55Jed Spence certainly showing his desire to get forward from right back,
01:22:00which is what Ange Bosticoglu will be looking for.
01:22:07Valise just looking to tidy himself up off the field.
01:22:12Hearts in possession with Aiden Denham.
01:22:16Back to Xander Clark.
01:22:21Lewis Nielsen floating it forward, looking for James Wilson, but cut out by Emerson Royale.
01:22:29Dahl with a challenge on Moore.
01:22:40Xander Clark, 15 clean sheets last season in the league, only bettered by Jack Butland.
01:22:46A tough battle for that number one spot in the coming season between him and Craig Gordon.
01:22:55As the Seagulls again descend in Tidecastle.
01:22:59I don't feel like it was this before, I don't know what's happened at the start of this pre-season.
01:23:03It seems a lot worse, you're right, the last couple of weeks.
01:23:07Spurs flying in this game in the second half, 11 and a half minutes to go, 4-1.
01:23:13Not quite matching the five goal margin they had last time they were at Tidecastle, but
01:23:20certainly in control.
01:23:26Hearts man of the match picked by LNER, sponsors of today's game,
01:23:30will be the first team to play in the Premier League.
01:23:37Gerald Taylor I should say, which is probably no real surprise,
01:23:40great first half from the new signing.
01:23:43I think he was voted halfway through the first half I think.
01:23:48It's been a change of shirt for Alejo Veliz, no number on it now as Spurs trying to play in
01:23:57Tyrese Hall, eventually out for a throw to Tottenham, marshalled on that occasion by Lewis Nielsen.
01:24:06Heavily involved in his first season with Hearts, well 16 appearances anyway, but
01:24:11out on loan last campaign to the Championship,
01:24:13and he'll be looking to force his way back into Stephen Naismith's thoughts this year.
01:24:20Highly rated signing from Dundee United.
01:24:26Had some great games as well, but equally we saw when the
01:24:30chips were down for Hearts in that first campaign, he did struggle in a few matches,
01:24:34it's maybe just the nature of it when he's still so young.
01:24:41Sander Clarke sends a spinning ball up the field, header well won by Dramme.
01:24:46Gets it back well from Wilson, that was a nice cushion header, Dramme driving forward,
01:24:50challenged by Lucas Bergvall, and he was fouled by the Swedish player.
01:24:56He feels he got the ball, but referee Matthew McDermott did not agree.
01:25:05Good play between Dramme and Wilson, another one Hearts are looking to
01:25:13get an idea of what they can see from him this season, Moussa Dramme still just 22,
01:25:17and Spaniard. Hearts trying to pull it forward down the right and they have won
01:25:24their fifth corner of the game. Yeah a bit of a quick free kick from
01:25:29Blaise Pito there getting in a wider area, James Wilson making the run, earns a corner.
01:25:34Spital will take it, Nielsen and Halkett forward from the back, Bailey Dahl in there as well.
01:25:47Spital curled in right-footed, nodded away by Royale.
01:25:51Dramme volleys it back in but flies a few yards over the crossbar.
01:25:55Yeah a decent F-up, he connects a bit well.
01:26:06Alejo Valise will be withdrawn, it's Dane Scarlett who comes on now as the substitutions
01:26:14continue to reign in here, if that's just a precautionary measure.
01:26:19Valise who came on in the second half, Hearts out back though, it's a loose pass from Spital
01:26:28giving it to Timo Werner, slips it through to the substitute Scarlett who went too early.
01:26:35And the 20-year-old should have done better there because that was a real chance for Tottenham
01:26:41Hotspur. Yeah we're kind of in line here and he did, he just advanced his run and there was
01:26:45absolutely no need for him to do it. Dane Scarlett who was on loan at Ipswich Town last
01:26:50season and Portsmouth the year prior, he has played six league games for the Tottenham senior team.
01:26:58You just see he mistimed his run there and he shouldn't have, it was
01:27:01one of those moments where he had plenty of time to think about it I think to make sure he stayed on
01:27:06side. And it stays Hart middle of the in one, Tottenham Hotspur four.
01:27:17Hooked forward by Nielsen off the head of Bergvall.
01:27:22Bergvall wants more on the right, looks for the run of Moorer. Lewis Nielsen will get there first.
01:27:29Halkett, now Bailey Dahl floats that one forward looking for Shankland who has got a goal to his
01:27:36name today but yeah it's not an awful lot else to do to be honest. Zero after that but certainly a
01:27:41great introduction after the second half. This probably sums up the nature of the second half,
01:27:48it will be the third Spurs goalkeeper to get a game today. It's now Luca Günther coming on
01:27:55Luca Günther coming on. Five different goalkeepers alone in this match.
01:28:0683 minutes played.
01:28:19Halkett floats it forward, Moussa Dramat goes after it, almost got a little break away there from
01:28:26Max Robson. Comes back to Spittel, nice pass inside Dramat
01:28:30just get it back to Denham but there was Timo Werner covering.
01:28:36Breaks back to Spurs, chance on the break for the visitors. Good run forward by Tyrese Hall,
01:28:42got a little break of the ball still going down the left wing.
01:28:48Now Werner, Hart's got men behind the ball.
01:28:51Bergwald picks up, still inside the Hart's half, looks to dance forward, slips it to the right
01:28:55to Moore. Nice run by Spence to the byline, goes to the cutback, vital block goal Lewis Nielsen.
01:29:02The Spurs have been racking up the corners, this is the 10th of the evening for them.
01:29:06Yeah lovely way he passed just down the outside there, just to the dead ball line.
01:29:11Lewis Nielsen sees it and gets across and defends it well because if he doesn't it's a decent cut
01:29:16back and on again we've got a good view here, it'll be another opportunity for Spurs.
01:29:26Corner played back the way to Royale, everyone behind the ball for Hart's.
01:29:29Bergwald, curling data, teasing ball, chance headed towards goal, blocked by Clark and forced in.
01:29:40The first chance fell to Dane Scarlett, blocked by Xander Clark.
01:29:46But the rebound was forced in and the keeper couldn't prevent Tottenham Hotspur scoring a fifth
01:29:51for their second consecutive visit to Tyne Castle Park.
01:29:57Just waiting to see the confirmation who got the final touch on that one.
01:30:02It's a lovely ball from Bergwald from the right, might have been an offside claim against
01:30:09Dane Scarlett, his header was well blocked by Xander Clark.
01:30:14I think in the end it was the defender Ashley Phillips who converted from close range,
01:30:20forcing it in at the near post, and it is a rout now for Tottenham Hotspur, Hart's one, Spurs five.
01:30:26Yeah he should score with the header, I mean it's a wonderful ball we've seen it all evening
01:30:30when they get into wide area Spurs, they don't mess about, they put balls into boxes and ask
01:30:34questions and that is a wonderful ball and he really should be scoring with the header.
01:30:43Four goals in the second half for a very much second string Spurs team which I'm sure
01:30:47Ange-Paul Stokoglou will be pleased about. Some of the younger players and fringe players show
01:30:53what they can do. For Hart's I think it's a case of similar to Saturday, just shake it off,
01:31:02against higher calibre opposition. Coming forward again though Spurs,
01:31:07Moore driving on, still going, eventually won back by Hart but there was a foul
01:31:13on the youngster before then, 16 year old just showing good aggression on the ball, driving
01:31:22forward and the free kick is taken, low, final goal scorer asking Stan Phillips.
01:31:29Werner, ball breaks, back towards Devine, chance here for Scarlett, drama goes down,
01:31:40no foul, it's a bit untidy in the box, eventually Aidan Denham can clear.
01:31:47And now Spittle, nice ball forward, James Wilson will be onside here, he was inside his own half,
01:31:52teenager twisting and turning but too much cover in the end, and the Spurs players didn't really
01:31:58have anywhere to go. And again it's back with the visitors,
01:32:05in control again, like they were in 2011, different circumstances here but
01:32:12it's going to be a very similar end result as Hart's concede another corner.
01:32:16Last season was the first time in 15 seasons that they didn't have European football Spurs
01:32:22heading back into Europe, this campaign, well they did dream of a title challenge after being top
01:32:28after 10 games. It's a Hart side also back in Europe, a third successive season for them for
01:32:36the first time in history.
01:32:37Spurs come forward, once again Tyrese Hall dancing all the way through the Hart's defence,
01:32:41good challenge by Lewis Nielsen, it will just be a goal kick.
01:32:47Tyrese Hall, another one of the Spurs youngsters who's starting to enjoy himself out there.
01:32:57That does show the golfers, they're not going to be able to get any more
01:33:00out there.
01:33:06That does show the golfing class at times, not just the quality of some of the youngsters but
01:33:10you talk about some of the Spurs players, first goal scorer £50 million, signing 18-year-olds
01:33:15for £40 million, I mean the levels between English Premier League and Scottish Premiership is
01:33:22quite stark in the modern day.
01:33:24And you can see it on the naked eye tonight, simple as that,
01:33:27they've been sharper all over the park, very confident in possession.
01:33:33Coming forward again now, well played through towards Scarlett, might be in for another,
01:33:36Xander Clark comes out, he's around the goalkeeper but lashes it off target in the end,
01:33:41there's a big chance for number six there for Dane Scarlett, racing in on goal,
01:33:48rounded Xander Clark, just a little bit of a rush of blood to the head with the finish in the end,
01:33:54slightly off balance I think as he hit it on the angle.
01:33:58But certainly at this point Spurs opening hearts up at will.
01:34:03Yeah, one or two really pacey players on the park now, that's for sure,
01:34:07I'm not too sure he needs to put his foot through that there,
01:34:09if he guides it towards the goal he might get number six.
01:34:15Emerson Brial who made that error early in the second half,
01:34:19covering on that occasion, former Barcelona man.
01:34:24Now Spurs pick up again, Alfie Devine driving forward, Timo Werner on the left, taking on Denham.
01:34:31Blocked away well by Denham that time, picked up by Spittel,
01:34:34still inside the hearts half though, nowhere to go, one back by Spurs.
01:34:39As we hit 90 minutes and referee Matthew McDermott brings to a close hearts second,
01:34:45recognised pre-season friendly, certainly one in front of fans,
01:34:48and in the end it's a pretty routine victory for Tottenham Hotspur,
01:34:53showing the engulfing class between the English top flight and the Scottish top flight.
01:34:57They led 1-0 at halftime through Brennan Johnson,
01:35:01Shanklin levelled after coming off the bench early in the second,
01:35:04but then the Spurs second string really took hold of the game,
01:35:08goals from Lancashire, Mikey Moore, Jed Spence,
01:35:13and the centre-back, Ashley Phillips, capped off a comfortable victory.
01:35:18And one Jimmy Sanderson that parts wouldn't want to remember from a scoreline perspective,
01:35:22not until they get into that second half, but we said it on Saturday,
01:35:25it's all about getting minutes in the legs and trying to get up to speed ahead of the competitive football.
01:35:30That's all it is, all you can do is look forward to the Rangers game,
01:35:33these games will be put into history and they'll be forgotten,
01:35:36it's about getting the right fitness, match fitness into all of the players,
01:35:41looking forward to the Rangers coming here,
01:35:44and whether we were good or bad is slightly irrelevant,
01:35:47the management team will be taking the positives out of it,
01:35:50there'll be lots of things they can talk about of Hearts not having the ball tonight,
01:35:54and being out of possession, but we're positive,
01:35:56we didn't do an awful lot with the ball,
01:35:58Shantley comes on and scores a goal from a little bit of an error from Roy Allen and Spurs,
01:36:03but the rest of it was all about Spurs, you can see they are a quality team.
01:36:08But it's a huge gulf, and that's absolutely fine,
01:36:10as long as they're not in our league next season.
01:36:13It could both end up being Europa League, just remember that.
01:36:16Hans-Pasta Koglu has a happy return to Scotland in this game,
01:36:20and the 2000 Spurs fans will head back south very happy,
01:36:24and Hearts fans will look for a different type of result
01:36:29when the competitive stuff starts at Tyne Castle in a couple of weeks' time.
01:36:32We'll hand back to the studio now to hear from the fans,
01:36:35we'll hand back to the studio now to analyse that second half,
01:36:39what a comfortable victory here for Tottenham Hotspur in the Scottish capital,
01:36:43full-time scoreline at Tyne Castle,
01:36:45hard to middle of the M1, Tottenham Hotspur...
