Tottenham 3-0 Hoffenheim: Mikey Moore's brace helps hosts earn comfortable friendly win

A first-half strike from Richarlison and a second-half brace from Mikey Moore helped Roberto De Zerbi's new-look Tottenham team beat Hoffenheim 3-0  in north London on Saturday. 

The Italian named a starting XI which included new arrivals Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Sandro Tonali. 

James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mateus Fernandes, Mohammed Kudus, Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro were among those missing from the Spurs team sheet

Tonali and Robertson both had a hand in the opener, with the Italian cleverly turning away from his marker in midfield and laying the ball wide for the left-back to whip into the box for Richarlison to sweep home. 

After the interval, Mathys Tel beat two Hoffenheim defenders down the left side of the box before squaring for Spurs academy graduate Mikey Moore to divert into the bottom corner. 

The duo linked up again with 11 minutes left to play when some more smart footwork from Tel gave Moore the space to take a touch and send a shot past Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann. 

Moore, 19, spent last season on loan at Rangers and has been linked with a loan move to Hoffenheim's Bundesliga rivals FC Cologne this summer. 

Spurs face Hoffenheim again in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Sunday. De Zerbi's team get their Premier League campaign under way when they face Brentford on Aug. 22.
