Tottenham Hotspur have picked up a fifth straight in all competition having beaten Ferencvaros 2-1 in the Europa League.
Ange Postecoglou is enjoying a winning run right now and he wasn’t about to let it go against Ferencvaros.
Postecoglou did name a much-changed side though and started with youngsters Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear as part of the Tottenham Hotspur attack.
After a shaky start, Pape Matar Sarr opened the scoring before Brennan Johnson found number two in the second half.
Barnabas Varga pulled one back late in the day but Tottenham saw the game out to claim a 2-1 victory in Hungary.
Two wins from two in the Europa League and five in a row across all competitions, Tottenham are in fine form right now.
Ange Postecoglou on Archie Gray display
Postecoglou will be delighted with how his young players equipped themselves in a testing battle.
Archie Gray started the game too, lining up at centre back alongside Cristian Romero.
Gray was a midfielder upon emerging at Leeds United but impressed as a right back last season.
Postecoglou tested Gray as a centre back in pre-season and the teenager was happy for the experience.
Gray lined up in that role against Ferencvaros and Postecoglou has heaped praise on him after a strong display.
Speaking to Football London, Postecoglou suggested that Gray was ‘brilliant’ against Ferencvaros.
Postecoglou noted that Gray performed well at centre back before moving to left back, praising him for his adaptability.
“I thought Archie Gray was brilliant today. We asked him to play two different positions and he just adapts and handles it,” said Postecoglou.

Gray won’t want to be a jack of all trades
Gray signed in a £40million deal from Leeds United over the summer and Tottenham certainly have a real gem for the future.
The teenager is happy to play in any position and we are already seeing that he has the quality to play anywhere.
Right back, centre back, left back, midfield; Gray can do it all at such young age.
Gray won’t want to be viewed as a player who can fill in wherever though; he has so much talent and potential to become a key player for Tottenham down the line.
That versatility is working well for Gray right now but he will be keen to show that he can master one position rather than being a jack of all trades.
