Tottenham Hotspur youngster Shayon Harrison made his trip to Oslo one to remember as he bagged his first senior goal for the club.
The 19-year-old netted shortly after coming off the substitute’s bench, to net the final goal in a 6-1 demolition of Roberto Mancini’s Inter Milan.
Harrison is highly rated at Tottenham and his well taken goal will give him confidence heading into the upcoming campaign.
