Tj Eyoma had a disappointing game for Tottenham Hotspur’s Under-19 side today.
Tottenham Hotspur were eliminated from the UEFA Youth League today.
The North Londoners’ Under-19 side were dumped out of the competition following this afternoon’s 2-0 defeat by Porto in Portugal.
Spurs had occasional first-team player Oliver Skipp in the first XI but it wasn’t enough to move into the quarter-final stage.
Tottenham fell behind to a fine goal early in the second half, but Porto’s second has frustrated a few Lilywhites supporters.
A mistake from right-back Tj Eyoma gifted the hosts’ a killer goal, after the 19-year-old kept possession instead of trying to clear it.
Here’s how some fans reacted to the mistake:
News of the error will no doubt find its way to senior Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.
It must be bitterly disappointing for Eyoma, because not only is it a mistake in a big game for the Under-19s, but Pochettino isn’t exactly flush with quality right-backs.
Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier’s seasons mean that the Argentine certainly needs a new one this summer and Eyoma has undoubtedly harmed his chances of advancing into the senior squad for next season.
