What happened. Tottenham beat MK Dons 1-0 in a pre-season friendly, with £85m signing Mateus Fernandes scoring a stunning volley after four minutes.

• Fernandes' first-time volley was the game's only goal.
• The match was described as a 'pants game' by the reporter.
• Martin Dubravka made a superb save to keep Spurs ahead.

“That was quite a difficult game to analyse, but what I can tell you is that Mateus Fernandes has one hell of a strike on him.”

— Daily Mail reporter

Tottenham's first pre-season game under Roberto De Zerbi ended with a win but little else to cheer.
