Tottenham youngster Samuel Shashoua has expressed his delight after helping the under-23 team to victory over rivals Arsenal.

Shashoua scored one, while his teammate Marcus Edwards netted the winner from the penalty spot to seal a 3-2 victory.

Shashoua, 18, made the substitute’s bench for the first team in the Premier League last season and is continuing to develop in the club’s academy.

As well as scoring the winner, Marcus Edwards set up a goal for teammate Shayon Harrison to underline his promise.

Spurs had gone two goals up before Arsenal drew level, but the penalty with half an hour to go proved to be the winner.

The win was a first in five matches for Tottenham’s under-23s, who had lost two and drawn two of their last four.

This has left them sitting in ninth place out of 12 teams in their division, and Wayne Burnett’s side will be hoping the victory can spark a run of wins.
