'I thought we had Neymar on the left wing!' - James Maddison compares Tottenham teenager Mikey Moore to Brazil icon after dazzling Europa League showing

Premier League

Manchester City

Tottenham

<p>Moore started for Spurs against AZ Alkmaar and impressed throughout, but he was particularly sharp at the start of the second half. The 17-year-old shifted from the right flank to the left, and showed the kind of fearless dribbling ability normally reserved for elite-level players, with Maddison drawing a light-hearted comparison with Brazilian icon Neymar. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Moore now has two Europa League starts under his belt, and has played 21 minutes in the Premier League under Ange Postecoglou too. At his age, his minutes will have to be managed, but Spurs fans appear very excited by the player he could potentially become. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Maddison said: "From minute 45 to 65 I thought we had Neymar on the left wing! He was brilliant. He's just demanding the ball, fearless, that young fearless mentality, and you never want to take that away from him. </p><p>"He's a young kid, he's a brilliant lad, he's a lovely boy, he takes on information, and he's got bags of ability so I'll be there as an older player, hopefully, with some wise words to help him along the way. He's got all the ability, it's just about knuckling down and working hard, which he does to be fair to him."

WHAT MADDISON SAID

<p>Spurs face Crystal Palace this weekend in the Premier League and will then take on Manchester City in the EFL Cup. In the Europa League, their next fixture comes against Galatasaray.</p>
