Luton Town 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs leave Kenilworth Road with a draw

Tottenham Hotspur played two preseason friendlies on the same day, with one squad drawing 2-2 against Wycombe at their training ground. The focus here is on the other squad, managed by Thomas Frank, which traveled to face League One side Luton Town and drew 0-0.

Spurs fielded a strong lineup, though Jamie Donley replaced Destiny Udogie at left-back just before kickoff. The first half saw Tottenham largely control the game defensively, with Kevin Danso and Mickey van de Ven managing the backline effectively. Despite few dangerous chances, the best attacking moment came from Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel: Tel won the ball, turned towards the box, and chipped a pass over a defender to Kudus, whose shot was cleared off the line.

Antonín Kinský replaced starting goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario for the second half. Manager Frank kept his starters on the pitch for 60-75 minutes to build fitness before the season starts. The first substitution saw 16-year-old academy player Junai Byfield replace Danso at right center-back. Byfield linked up with Tel (who had moved to midfield), leading to a cross-field pass to Brennan Johnson.

As the game progressed, Frank made further substitutions, giving opportunities to academy players. The final 15 minutes featured the following Spurs lineup: Kinský in goal, with Kyerenaten, Byfield, Roswell, and Russell-Denny also on the pitch.
