Tottenham Hotspur’s academy star Callum Olusesi came on to make his senior debut against Hoffenheim and his teammate Mikey Moore reacted.

The academy duo featured in Tottenham’s crucial 3-2 win over Hoffenheim which saw Ange Postecoglou’s team move into the top eight of the group stage.

A Son Heung-min brace and another from James Maddison secured the three points for Spurs and will alleviate some of the pressure on Postecoglou.

Posteco👍glou has been putting his trust in the youth with his squad🦩 decimated by injuries and in Germany, he handed Olusesi his debut.
