Tottenham U18 2-3 Fulham U18

Fulham Under-18s finished the season with an eye-catching 3-2 win at Tottenham.

The win on Hotspur Way means our Young Whites have ended the season with four straight victories; defeating Chelsea, Brighton, Arsenal and now Spurs along the way.

A sensational first-half saw us fly into a 3-1 lead thanks to goals from Tom Wingate, Macaulay Zepa and Aidan Evans, although George Feeney did bring the scores the level momentarily.

Ellis Lehane did half the deficit from the spot, but our Young Whites saw out a spell of late pressure to continue the winning streak.

An early mistake at the back was almost capitalised on within the first minute. Zepa pounced on a stray Elijah Upson pass and slotted in Kyle Grant, but his shot was weak and straight at Samual Archer.

Zepa then had a similar chance minutes later, with his effort also lacking the necessary power to beat Archer.

The winger helped break the deadlock after five minutes. His low flash across the six-yard box, on his weaker right foot, was met by Wingate at the far post, who was never going to miss from a couple of yards.

Our youngsters were rampant – and Grant missed a golden chance to extend our lead when one-on-one with Archer, dragging a shot wide of the near post.

Against the run of play, Spurs equalised as Northern Ireland youth international Feeney arrived late in the box before finishing with aplomb past Kaiser.

But we were only level for 60 seconds as down the other end, Zepa scored his second screamer in as many games, hitting a shot with venom from the edge of the area and beyond the reach of Archer.

Ali Melloul’s side were 3-1 ahead within half an hour. Zepa was once again the creator, tearing down the right-hand side before whipping a cross in, and Evans was there to score from close range.

We had to suffer without the ball in the second-half, and Kaiser had to get down early to deny a driven Tynan Thompson strike on the hour mark.

Thompson then caused issues down the left, skipping past Naz Benchaita before dragging the ball back to Luca Williams-Barnett, who saw a shot cleared off the line by substitute Quinn Schutter.

But just seconds later, Grant made a foul in the box, allowing Lehane to half the deficit with an emphatic spot kick.

Williams-Barnett fired over from a promising position 15 minutes from time, missing the target after firing through a sea of bodies in a packed penalty area.

Kaiser was at his best to deny Lehane one-on-one soon after. The Spurs striker had timed his run to perfection, but Kaiser’s starting position was flawless, and he was able to make a huge save his left hand.

In a rare second-half attack, Zepa looked to score another trademark rocket, but he didn’t quite wrap his boot around the ball enough as a 25-yarder sailed past the post.

Kaiser then made two saves in quick succession, firstly palming over an ambitious Williams-Barnett shot, before gathering a low Thompson drive.

There was time for one more Thompson chance, as he caught a volley sweet on his right foot, but it didn’t trouble Kaiser.
