Alfie Devine and Ryan Sessegnon featured for Tottenham U23s for yesterday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Goals from Dilan Markanday and J'Neil Bennett saw Spurs claw back a 2-0 half-time deficit, but Harvey White was denied a late winner from the penalty spot as honours ended even in Monday night's Premier League 2 opener against Chelsea.

Trailing to a brace from Harvey Vale against the run of play - the first one also from the spot - Spurs fought back into the game when Markanday carried over his excellent pre-season goalscoring form with a well-taken strike shortly after half-time, before Bennett curled home a stunning equaliser mid-way through the second period to make it 2-2.

Spurs coach Wayne Burnett later told the club's website: “I didn't think the first-half performance warranted us being 2-0 behind – we created some good chances but we gave two goals away that were probably avoidable.

“We showed real character to come back though and we could probably have won it with a penalty near the end. Overall I'm really pleased with how the players responded and how they applied themselves. We didn't play badly in the first half, I think we were a bit unfortunate to concede the two goals, but sometimes the score doesn't always reflect the performance."
