Town’s U18s were beaten 4-1 by Chelsea at their Cobham Training Centre this morning, despite having led at half-time.
Joel Ladegbaye put the Blues in front in the 17th minute and the scoreline remained 1-0 at the break.
However, the home side levelled on 66 through Jacob Dako, then went ahead via Jacob Hall four minutes later.
Dako added his second and his side’s third in the 87th minute, before Hezekiah Grimwade completed the scoring in injury time.
Town fielded schoolboy Preston Peal as a second-half sub, a full-back who has been with Spurs since he was seven.
