Mathys Tel Scores Stunning Free-Kick as Tottenham Beat Sydney FC on Penalties
Mathys Tel scored a brilliant free-kick for Tottenham Hotspur in a pre-season friendly against Sydney FC in Australia. The 21-year-old French forward curled a 25-yard strike into the top-right corner in the 29th minute, giving Spurs a 1-0 lead. Sydney FC equalized through Takahiro Sekine early in the second half, but Tottenham won 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka making a decisive save. Tel, who recently completed a permanent transfer to Tottenham, has now delivered two consecutive standout performances on the summer tour, sending a strong message to new manager Roberto De Zerbi. Despite ongoing speculation about his future and competition for places, including links to Manchester City winger Savinho, Tel expressed his commitment to fighting for a starting role in the upcoming Premier League season.
