Tottenham come from behind to beat Vissel Kobe 3-2 in Japan tour

Tottenham came from behind to beat Vissel Kobe 3-2 in the first game of their pre-season tour of Japan. 

Ange Postecoglou's men returned to action last week and secured victories against Hearts and Queens Park Rangers. 

And preparations for the upcoming season continued on Saturday as the north London side took on Vissel Kobe. 

The Japanese side took the lead after just eight minutes through Yuya Osako's close-ranger strike after a mistake in Tottenham's defence. 

However, Pedro Porro got the score level after cutting in from the right and finding the bottom corner with his weak left foot. 

Son Heung-min slotted the ball home from inside the box three minutes into the second half after a pull back from Brennan Johnson. 

Vissel Kobe capitalised on Tottenham's failure to play out from the back, with brazilian forward Jean Patric making it 2-2.

Highly-rated teenage striker Mikey Moore settled the game with a close-range finish in the 88th minute. 

It was the 16-year-old's second goal in pre-season having also netted against QPR last week and Postecoglou heaped praise on him. 

Ange Postecoglou is Tottenham manager 

The Tottenham boss said: 'Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in. He's earned his spot on the roster at the moment — he did at the end of last year. 

'He got a run with the first team because we could see in training that he was handling himself really well and that's followed through into pre-season training.

"He's been good in all the games — he probably should have had three tonight, to be fair — but he did take his goal well by being in the right areas.

'All we can do is keep allowing him to develop. We have to remember that last year he had some injuries and he is only 16, but — yeah — super exciting. 

'I think the future with a lot of our young guys looks pretty promising, but it's our responsibility to make sure they realise their potential and continue to work hard at their game.'
