Tottenham Hotspur’s Under 19s are through to the quarter finals of the UEFA Youth League after overcoming AS Monaco on penalties on Wednesday afternoon.

With no winner in normal time, the game went straight to a shoot out. And it was Tottenham who held their nerve, with Kazaiah Sterling, Paris Maghoma and Oliver Skipp all successful from the spot.
Things had started off badly for Scott Parker’s team, after Samuel Shashoua hit the post and Alioui scored via the hand of Brandon Austin.
