Tottenham kick off Ange Postecoglou era with behind-closed-doors friendly

Tottenham have played their first match of the Ange Postecoglou era with a behind-closed-doors friendly against Cambridge United.

The match reportedly featured 12 Under-21 players, with many senior first-team stars - such as Harry Kane - returning for pre-season training on Wednesday.

Captain Hugo Lloris was among the senior players on show and played in goal in the second half.

The match, played at Hotspur Way, is understood to have finished 1-1 with Dane Scarlett equalising after the visitors went ahead.

Tottenham's next game is against London rivals West Ham in Perth next Tuesday, with both teams spending time in Australia as part of separate tours.

Spurs are due to fly out over the weekend after the full first-team squad has some time on the training ground.

The squad then face Leicester City in Thailand and Roma in Singapore, though the latter game is reportedly under threat of cancellation.

Postecoglou will then take his club back to London to conclude pre-season preparations at home against Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk.
