Moore Double, Robertson Debut: Spurs Blank Hoffenheim 3-0

Moore didn't just score in the second half. He buried them. Both set up by Mathys Tel. A proper, polished showing from Roberto De Zerbi's crew, sure. But it's Moore, the 19-year-old, who's suddenly a headache. A good one. His form has kicked that Cologne loan right into the long grass. Now De Zerbi has to figure out where he fits before the transfer window slams shut. Not a bad problem, mind you.

Richarlison got things started. First half, a cross from Andy Robertson. Pinpoint, they call it. The new Scot, fresh off jumping ship from Liverpool for more minutes, looked right at home. Ran the left flank like he owned it. Destiny Udogie's still out with fitness issues. Robertson just filled the void, no fuss, all class.

Four new faces got their first run-out at home. Robertson, obviously. Then Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Marcos Senesi. All part of a pretty convincing win, or so Sky Sports tells us. Not that we needed them to confirm it.

Antonin Kinsky, the man between the sticks. He shut down Hoffenheim's attack cold. Another brick in the wall for his argument to be De Zerbi's main guy. Long-term. Crucial ball-playing from the 23-year-old, exactly what the manager wants. Funny, considering his past club struggles. Guess some players just click.

Not everyone was there, of course. Micky van de Ven. James Maddison. Mateus Fernandes. All absent. Anyway, Spurs play Hoffenheim again, this time behind closed doors. Then it's the big one. Brentford, next Saturday, on Sky Sports. The real show begins.
