Tottenham beat Juventus at Wembley friendly as Liverpool win in Dublin

Posted Sunday, August 06, 2017 by ESPN

Tottenham finished their preseason slate with an impressive 2-0 win over Juventus at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

If the attendance of 26,251 -- under a third of Wembley's capacity -- was embarrassing for Spurs, their performance was not as Harry Kane headed in Kevin Trippier's pinpoint cross past Gianluigi Buffon from seven yards.

Moussa Sissoko and Kane hit the woodwork either side of Christian Eriksen's goal on 50 minutes, collecting Dele Alli's through ball and leaving Buffon sprawling as he rounded the legendary goalkeeper.

Trippier, Spurs' only senior right-back, left the stadium on crutches after a pair of bad tackles, but coach Mauricio Pochettino said afterward that "We hope that it is not a big issue."

But on 78 minutes, Leipzig's Marvin Compper headed a seemingly harmless cross up and over his own goalkeeper.

Christian Benteke scored an equaliser as Crystal Palace and Schalke drew 1-1.

Pablo Insua's header had put the German side ahead before the break, before Benteke headed in a rebound.

Swansea City romped to a 4-0 win over Sampdoria as Leroy Fer, Tammy Abraham and Federico Fernandez scored to go along with a Ricardo Alvarez own goal.

Jake Livermore was sent off in the first half as West Brom fell 2-0 to Deportivo La Coruna, while Watford and Real Sociedad shared a goalles draw.
