Mikey Moore scored twice and Richarlison opened the scoring as Tottenham defeated Hoffenheim 3-0 in their pre-season home fixture. The 19-year-old's second-half goals were both set up by Mathys Tel, with Richarlison finishing from Andy Robertson's cross. Four new signings—Robertson, Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Marcos Sensi—made their debuts, strengthening De Zerbi's squad.

Moore's performance, despite being linked with a loan move, gave the manager options ahead of Sunday's behind-closed-doors rematch. Notably absent were Micky van de Ven, James Maddison, and Mateus Fernandes. Moore and Lucas Bergvall, both previously linked with exits, shone in the win, with Bergvall's future at the club still uncertain.

Robertson's pinpoint crosses and Kinsky's clean sheet performance (replacing Guglielmo Vicario) underscored Spurs' defensive and attacking progress. The victory extends Tottenham's unbeaten pre-season run, with their Premier League opener against Brentford next Saturday.
