17-Year-Old Mikey Moore Makes Historic Premier League Debut for Tottenham

In a significant milestone for Tottenham Hotspur, 17-year-old Mikey Moore has made his first Premier League start for the club. This achievement marks Moore as the second youngest player to start in the Premier League for Tottenham, and the youngest since Stephen Carr in 1993, who debuted at 17 years and 72 days old.

Moore’s debut comes after an impressive performance against AZ in the Europa League, where he showcased his potential and caught the attention of manager Ange Postecoglou. Despite initial speculation that he might be introduced in the second half, Moore was given the nod to start in the Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Tottenham is looking to continue their winning streak, having recently defeated West Ham 4-1 and AZ 1-0 in the Europa League. The team is facing a Crystal Palace side that is currently struggling in the bottom three of the Premier League without a league win this season.

Moore’s inclusion in the starting lineup is a testament to Tottenham’s faith in their young talent. The decision was made amidst other team news, including the absence of captain Son Heung-min due to injury and the expected return of Djed Spence from a groin issue next week.
