The Last Word On Spurs panel return to review our first club friendly of the upcoming campaign as Mateus Fernandes took just three minutes to light the touch paper of his Spurs career and our pre-season preparations as we beat MK Dons 1-0 at Hotspur Way on Wednesday evening.

Lining up alongside fellow new arrival Sandro Tonali and Conor Gallagher in midfield, our summer capture from West Ham made his mark in superb style on his first appearance in Lilywhite.

Mathys Tel swung in a corner, goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray punched high and clear only for Fernandes to thunder back a volley that pinged home off the inside of the post. It was a goal worthy of winning any game - in this case, it was enough to beat a well-organised, competitive MK side.

The players will now fly out to Auckland, New Zealand for the the first part of our pre-season tour, taking on Auckland at Eden Park in the early hours of Sunday morning (4am UK).

We also reflect on the sale of Will Lankshear to Middlesbrough, with Cristian Romero, Alfie Dorrington and Ashley Phillips expected to also leave the Club and whether our youngsters see a genuine pathway to the first-team.We also debate the news that James Maddison is set to be named the Captain of Tottenham Hotspur.
