Tottenham secured their third pre-season victory by defeating Sydney FC 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Mathys Tel opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a spectacular free-kick from 25 yards. Sydney FC equalized after halftime through Takahiro Sekine. Martin Dubravka made a crucial penalty save in the shoot-out, paving the way for Dane Scarlett to score the winning penalty.

Tel, who recently joined permanently for £30m, impressed with a standout 45-minute performance, potentially responding to transfer speculation linking Spurs with Manchester City winger Savinho. New signing Andy Robertson made his debut in the second half, wearing the captain's armband and creating two chances.

Despite the win, questions remain about Tottenham's attacking output, with several players missing chances. The club is reportedly interested in Savinho and is looking to strengthen their forward line. The team's pre-season schedule includes upcoming matches against Chelsea, Getafe, and Hoffenheim.
