Tottenham Hotspur began their Premier League season with a 1-1 draw at Leicester City on Monday evening.
Ahead of the game, the two clubs agreed the transfer of Oliver Skipp in a deal worth more than £20million and including a sell-on clause.
The 23-year-old, who played more than 100 times for Tottenham after coming through the academy, was signed too late to play in the game but was in attendance.
Spurs’ latest signing, 19-year-old winger Wilson Odobert, was not available yet after his £30million move from Burnley, as the club await his work permit.
However, Ange Postecoglou named £65million new striker Dominic Solanke in his first team of the season with fellow summer arrivals Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall on a strong bench.
Tottenham took the lead on the half hour mark with former Leicester man James Maddison curling in a lovely ball and Pedro Porro, in a striker’s position, headed it past the keeper.
Spurs had chances galore in both halves but did not take them and Jamie Vardy found a leveller for the hosts from their one real chance before the hour mark. He was left all alone at the back post to head in Abdul Fatawu’s cross.
Neither side could find a winner and Rodrigo Bentancur was stretchered off in the second half with what appeared to be a nasty injury and seemingly concussion after a collision from a Spurs corner.
