At just 17, Mikey Moore has captured the admiration of Tottenham fans with his standout performance in the UEFA Europa League. On October 25 (KST), Tottenham announced on its official website that Moore was voted as HSBC Player of the Match following their 1-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar. Tottenham hosted AZ Alkmaar at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London for their third group-stage match of the 2024/25 Europa League season. After a goalless first half, Richarlison scored the game’s only goal with a penalty kick in the 53rd minute. Tottenham successfully defended their lead, securing a 1-0 win and moving to second place with three consecutive group-stage victories. While Richarlison’s penalty clinched the win, it was Moore’s dynamic play that stole the spotlight. Starting as a left winger, Moore showcased his sharp attacking abilities throughout the match. According to SofaScore, Moore played a full 90 minutes, recording two shots, one on target, an 80% pass accuracy, one key pass, and one major chance creation. Moore’s impressive performance drew praise from teammate James Maddison, who told TNT Sports, “From the 45th to the 65th minute, it felt like Neymar was out on the left. Moore was absolutely brilliant—young, intelligent, and skilled. I hope I can guide him with advice as he grows.” Fans echoed Maddison’s sentiments, voting Moore as Player of the Match. With his potential becoming more apparent, Tottenham supporters are eagerly watching Moore’s rise, seeing in him a promising future star.
