Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their pre-season tour with a good win over PSG.

Tottenham Hotspur warmed up for the upcoming Premier League season with a 4-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Orlando played host as both Champions League clubs played out a brilliant friendly which saw three goals inside the first 18 minutes.

First, Uruguay hitman Edinson Cavani fired les Parisiens ahead, before a stunning Christian Eriksen strike and a bizarre Eric Dier goal helped Tottenham into a 2-1 lead.

Javier Pastore levelled up before the break, but the Ligue 1 side were reduced to 10 men within a minute of the restart when goalkeeper Kevin Trapp picked up a red card, and a cracking Toby Alderweireld goal, coupled with a Harry Kane penalty, finally saw off PSG.

Dier’s goal had a degree of good fortune about it, the Spurs midfielder pressing Trapp whose poor clearance cannoned off Dier and rolled into the net, but ex-Tottenham man Micky Hazard claims that the goal was borne out of the team’s famed pressing tactic.
