Tottenham Hotspur youngster Luca Williams-Barnett netted a brilliant first-half hat-trick as Spurs’ Under-21s thrashed Leicester City away from home.
It is not just the Spurs first-team who have made an excellent start to the season, but also the U21s, who have an identical record to Thomas Frank’s men.
They sit fourth in the table, having won three and lost one of their first four league matches, and they sent a statement with a thumping win against the Foxes at Leicester’s training ground on Friday.
Wayne Burnett’s men emerged 6-3 winners against Leicester, and it was a 16-year-old who was the hero for them on the evening.
