This match was held behind closed doors, and this match against Hearts was the first time Tottenham played a pre-season match in front of an audience.

Son Heung-min started and played for only 45 minutes, and did not score any offensive points.

In the 26th minute of the first half, he exchanged a 2-on-1 pass with Dejan Kulusevski and broke through the defensive line before firing a sharp shot, but the goalkeeper blocked it.

Tottenham ended the first half with a 1-0 lead with a goal by Brennan Johnson in the 39th minute.

At the start of the second half, all the starting members, including Son Heung-min, were replaced to give opportunities to the bench players.

Tottenham conceded a goal to Hearts' Laurence Shankland in the first minute of the second half due to a defensive mistake, but they regained the lead with a goal by winger Lanclair in the 10th minute of the second half.

Then, in the 21st minute of the second half, Mikey Moore, Jess Spence, and in the 27th minute, Ashley Phillips scored consecutive goals to secure a complete victory.

Tottenham will play their second friendly match against Queens Park Rangers on the 20th before moving to East Asia to play a friendly match against last year's J-League champion Vissel Kobe at the Tokyo National Stadium in Japan on the 27th.
