1/9
Matt Davies29 August 2020

A last-gasp Steven Bergwijn stunner secured a second Tottenham pre-season win in as many days with a 1-0 victory over Championship side Birmingham.

With Birmingham happy to sit deep, it took Tottenham until the 89th minute to finally break the deadlock as the second half substitute Bergwijn undid all of Birmingham's hard work with a stunning strike.

After beating Reading 4-1 only one day prior, Jose Mourinho opted for a host of changes, handing Joe Hart is first start in Spurs colours, with Eric Dier captaining a side largely comprised of youngsters.

29 August 2020

39 mins: Big chance for Spurs, who really should be 1-0 up! There's a total miscommunication at the back between Pietro and Friend, who clears straight to Sessegnon. He should score, but instead fires straight at Friend, who recovered well. 

29 August 2020

36 mins: Just under 10 minutes until half-time. You feel the likes of Kane, Son and Alli would inject some much-needed pace and quality to the game. 

29 August 2020

33 mins: Dier launches another superb cross-field ball to Aurier out wide, but once again his cross is dealt with comfortably. Cirkin then nearly finds Sessegnon with a defence-splitting through ball. 

29 August 2020

30 mins: Tottenham seem to have regained a sense of calm with the ball, but there's still such a lack of attacking threat coming from the home side.  

You feel the likes of Gedson, Sessegnon and Clarke really need to prove themselves but they've found it difficult out there. 

Chances have been few and far between, to say the least. 

29 August 2020

27 mins: Tottenham now have their first corner of the game after Clarke saw the ball out of play. It's White who takes the set-piece once more, and again it's Dier who wins the header. Similarly, he nods it off target. 

29 August 2020

23 mins: Birmingham have really grown into the match and are certainly holding their own at this stage. Tottenham have looked a real attacking threat in their opening two pre-season games.

They've been pretty pedestrian today, however. Of course, there's no Kane, Son, Dele, Bergwijn or Lamela out there. 

29 August 2020

19 mins: Best move of the match for Birmingham. Eric Dier diverts a cross from the right behind for the first corner of the game. 

It's cleared with relative ease, but was is so evident is the booming voice of Joe Hart bellowing from his area. It's constant! 

29 August 2020

17 mins: Birmingham have their first chance to pump the ball into the area after Cirkin commits a foul. The away side go short, however, with Hart eventually gathering safely. 

The new signing is yet to face a shot in pre-season. 

29 August 2020

14 mins: Dier has his head in his hands! Harvey White sends in a terrific free-kick, which today's captain glances wide with a free header. He should have done better. 

There was momentary concern just prior as Lucas stayed down from a challenge. He's back up now, much to Spurs' relief. 

29 August 2020

12 mins: First shot on target for Spurs. Harvey White looks for the ball over the top to Sessegnon. The Birmingham defence just manage to clear, but it falls to Lucas, who in turn finds Gedson. He cuts in, but his shot is partially blocked, subsequently falling to Prieto in goal.
