Richarlison stepped up to the penalty spot and secured a crucial victory for Tottenham against AZ Alkmaar, maintaining the team's perfect start to the season. The match was far from straightforward for Spurs, who struggled to find their rhythm and were not at their dynamic best. Timo Werner's ongoing struggles were evident, but manager Ange Postecoglou still found reasons to be optimistic, including a solid defensive performance, an impressive second-half showing from young Mikey Moore, and James Maddison's unselfishness in allowing Richarlison to take the penalty. The decisive moment came shortly after the break when Lucas Bergvall was fouled, earning a penalty for Tottenham. Richarlison was quick to claim the ball, but Maddison, initially set to take the spot-kick, was persuaded to let Richarlison have the opportunity. Recognizing that the Brazilian, who was starting for the first time in nearly six months, could benefit from the confidence boost of scoring, Maddison ultimately handed the ball back to him. This gesture not only highlighted the team's camaraderie but also allowed Richarlison to find the back of the net for the first time since May.

Brennan Johnson continued his impressive scoring streak, netting a goal for the fifth consecutive match as a youthful Tottenham Hotspur team secured a hard-fought victory against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. Manager Ange Postecoglou opted for a youthful lineup, featuring four teenagers in the starting eleven during the match in Budapest. The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute, thanks to a brilliant run by 17-year-old Mikey Moore, who was making his full debut. Moore's effort set up Pape Matar Sarr to score the opening goal. Tottenham's resilience was tested throughout the match, but they managed to hold on for the win, showcasing the potential of their younger players.
