Lucas Bergvall certainly didn’t look out of place in his first Premier League start for Tottenham Hotspur in their 5-0 win over Southampton.
Bergvall joined Djed Spence in making his full league debut for Tottenham, a chance that both players took full advantage of.
Before a ball was kicked in Spurs’ victory, Bergvall could actually be seen on the St Mary’s pitch doing special individual duels with Mile Jedinak and Nick Montgomery in the warm-up.
Alongside Archie Gray, Tottenham are evidently investing time and energy into their young players, as well as affording them first team chances.
And whilst Spurs’ season as a whole has still disappointed, there’s still obvious reasons to be optimistic moving forward.

And then the Sweden international also took the chance to praise all three of Son Heung-min, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who he labelled as ‘unbelievable’ in the 5-0 rout of Southampton.
Bergvall said: “It’s a big difference for me, coming from the Swedish league. It’s a big difference when you are 18 years old. I am learning every day.
“Trying to train to get better, to get better confidence and get better physically. Learning from the best. You saw Sonny, Madders, Deki today. Unbelievable players.”
Tottenham had four teenagers on the pitch during 5-0 win over Southampton
In addition to Bergvall, Tottenham had three other teenagers on the pitch at the same time against Southampton, which is the first time that’s happened in the Premier League this season.
Gray (18) started alongside Bergvall and then both Alfie Dorrington (19) and Will Lankshear (19) got the chance to show all of the excellent work happening at Spurs’ academy.
Of course, the club also have Mikey Moore (17) ready to become a star for Tottenham too, even if he is injured right now.
A brilliant evening and result for Tottenham, who will take a lot of confidence into some tough games this week.
In addition to Bergvall, Tottenham fans were delighted with Djed Spence against Southampton, and it’ll be interesting to see how his display affects his game time moving forward.
