Tottenham pushed QPR from the first half. In the 28th minute, Son Heung-min had a decisive opportunity. Johnson’s sharp cross was finished with a left-footed shot, but was blocked by the goalkeeper’s good defense.
Tottenham scored the first goal in the 40th minute. Bissouma completed the scoring by exchanging one-two passes with Dejan Klusevski and beating the goalkeeper. The first half ended with Tottenham leading 1-0.
With the start of the second half, Tottenham left out all the starting players. Son Heung-min also joined the bench. Manor Solomon, Mikey Moore, Scarlett and James Maddison joined the ground.
Continuing their seesaw game, Tottenham effectively sealed the match with Scarlett’s second score in the 42nd minute. Scarlett calmly slotted in Moore’s sensational out front cross.
Tottenham, which won all three pre-season games, will move on to Japan and play against Vissel Kobe on the 27th. It will face K-League All-Star and Bayern Munich at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st and 3rd.
