TNT SPORTS EXPERTS REACT TO TOTTENHAM'S YOUNG GUNS NICKING THE WIN
PETER CROUCH: "I thought they were going to get away with not conceding again, but Varga put paid to that. All in all they probably deserve it, but they just gave up too many chances."
He added: "I thought Mikey Moore was excellent on his full debut. He had a hand in the first goal too."
JOE COLE: "(The first goal) was against the run of play. Moore was really good. He was comfortable on the ball, driving with it. They all did very well but he was the pick of the youngsters."

JOHNSON HITS THE GOAL TRAIL AGAIN AS SPURS WIN AGAIN IN EUROPE
Substitute Brennan Johnson continued his recent hot-streak as a youthful Tottenham maintained their perfect start to life in the UEFA Europa League with a 2-1 victory at Ferencvaros.
Ange Postecoglou named four teenagers in his starting XI in a much-changed team from the side that thumped Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend.
It looked like it may backfire early on as the Hungarian outfit dominated and saw a goal from Barnabas Varga chalked off for offside.
Spurs took full advantage of the reprieve and Pape Sarr broke the deadlock on 23 minutes when he fired home following a mix-up in the home team’s defence.
Guglielmo Vicario produced a fine fingertip stop to keep out Matheus Saldanha following the restart while Timo Werner and 19-year-old debutant Will Lankshear went close at the other end.
Spurs eventually notched a second when Johnson rolled a low shot into the corner four minutes from time to make it five goals in his last five appearances.
Varga then set up a nervy finale with a super volley at the near post but the visitors held on to make it two wins from two in Europe.
Tottenham will now look to maintain their current momentum when they visit Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday.

There may be a few more moments now. The Ferencvaros defender needed some treatment.

TOTTENHAM TRYING TO CONTROL POSSESSION IN THE FINAL SECONDS

THAT'S A TIMELY GOAL FOR SPURS
The visitors were on the back foot there with Ferencvaros pushing hard.
The second goal is a huge relief for Ange and Co.
86'
GOAL! - FERENCVAROS 0-2 TOTTENHAM: (JOHNSON)
That will seal it! It's Johnson's fifth goal in five games as he is allowed too much time inside the area to switch direction and guide a low shot into the corner.
85'
FERENCVAROS CHANGE
Pesic on.
84'
FERENCVAROS PRESSURE
Tottenham throw bodies in front of a succession of shots with Mohamed Abu Fani seeing the final one deflect just wide.
83'
FERENCVAROS CHANCE
Borges can only flash a tame header straight at Vicario from a right-wing cross.
82'
TOTTENHAM CHANGE
Solanke on.
82'
FERENCVAROS CHANCE
Cebrails Makreckis finds space on the right side of the box but drills way wide of the near post.
Surely a cross-shot towards the back stick was the better option there?
81'
TOTTENHAM CHANCE
Substitute Johnson arrows a first-time drive against the top of the crossbar. So close to a second for the away side.
80'
FERENCVAROS ATTEMPT
Kady jinks in from the right and pulls a reverse strike towards the near post, but it lacks the venom to trouble Vicario.
78'
FERENCVAROS CHANGE
Kady Borges on.

FERENCVAROS CHANGE
Cebrails Makreckis on.
