The first of two Test Events was hosted at the £1billion structure last weekend, with J’Neil Bennett scoring the opening goal at the ground in Tottenham Under-18s’ 3-1 defeat of Southampton.

Should the north Londoners progress past City into the Champions League semi-finals, the stadium will also host the home leg of that fixture, taking the match total up to seven.
