The Academy graduate’s performances in pre-season haven’t gone unnoticed – he’s been name-checked a couple of times in interviews by Roberto De Zerbi. “Malachi is another good player for the future of the club,” he told us in Auckland.

Malachi, 18, has started both games on tour – Auckland in New Zealand, a 2-0 win on Sunday and now Sydney FC, a 1-1 draw before we won on penalties at the Allianz Stadium.

Speaking to us after impressing again against Sydney, Malachi said: “It's going really well. I'm thankful to the manager, he's shown a lot of trust in me and a lot of the boys are getting behind me and supporting me as well. I feel like when I come on and when I start, I know that I can just be comfortable doing what I usually do. So, yeah, it's been really good.”

Malachi was one of three Academy players to start alongside Tye Hall and Rio Kyerematen with another six featuring off the bench.

“I think looking forward, especially for the younger ones looking up to us as well, they know that there's a pathway, there's opportunities for all of us,” added Malachi. “Quite a lot of us featured and the game before, so it's promising for the future.

“We know that we can be around it and I think we've all settled in quite well as well, so it's good.”

SPURSPLAY

The 17-year-old showed nerves of steel to not just take on the Panenka, but execute it with a delicious dink down the middle of the goal as goalkeeper Gus Hoefsloot dived to his right.

That gave us the platform for a 4-2 win on penalties with Sandro Tonali, Andy Robertson – his first appearance in Lilywhite – and Dane Scarlett striking the decisive penalty after Martin Dubravka denied Alexander Popovic. Earlier, Mathys Tel’s wonderful free-kick was levelled by Takahiro Sekine as it ended 1-1 a the Allianz Stadium.

Having impressed as he came off the bench for the second half – he struck the top of the crossbar within a minute of coming on – Luca was a constant threat driving in from the left, continuing his fine form in pre-season.

Asked about Luca’s penalty in his interview with SPURSPLAY, Roberto responded: “I was number 10 as a player, so you can imagine how I can like him as a player. I think now we have a bigger responsibility with him to improve him, to help him to become stronger physically and to give him the right space to bring him to become the player that people imagine.”

Asked about Luca’s performance in his post-match press conference, Roberto said: “We have to manage him like a precious diamond. We have to help him to improve in the last decision. Physically, work harder to become stronger because this time of football, he needs to be strong, and to give him space when there is the right moment. I usually give time to all the young players I work with in my career, and he is a potential special player.”

Over the years we've had some masters of the art when it comes to striking a dead ball.

Think Gazza against Arsenal at Wembley in 1991. Think Christian Ziege against Arsenal in 2002. Think of the Bale against Lyon. Think Christian Eriksen. period.

And there's been countless others. Jermaine Jenas at Old Trafford. Dimitar Berbatov at Upton Park. Kieran Trippier at Wembley against Fulham.
