Tottenham Under-21s recorded a 2-1 victory over rivals Arsenal, which featured Lucas Moura scoring on his return from injury.
The Brazilian has made just 11 appearances for the senior team this season, playing just 266 minutes of football.

It’s his first goal for the club this season.
Much of Moura’s campaign has been affected by a tendon problem and he was last in action in November.
However, he has now made a comeback for the club, making an instant impact for the Under-21s against their north London rivals.
After Amario Cozier-Duberry’s first game for the Gunners, Moura scored an equalizer for Spurs in the Premier League 2 Division 1.
It’s his first contribution for the club this season, having failed to score or assist for the senior side so far in the current campaign.
His Spurs teammate and fellow Brazilian striker Richarlison made an appearance in the stands at Boreham Wood to show his support.
He was seen holding a fan-made sign that translated, “Lucas could you give me your shirt?”

John put Spurs ahead after replacing Moura
Nile John replaced Moura at the break and the midfielder fired in a second just after the hour mark to give Tottenham the win.
Moura’s future at Spurs is in doubt with the the signing of Arnaut Danjuma should further limit his opportunities.
The Dutchman was loaned out by Villarreal until the end of the season, with Antonio Conte’s side beating Everton, who have also been linked with Moura, on his signature.
Danjuma could make his first appearance for the club on their FA Cup trip to Preston on Saturday.
Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini has confirmed he is available for the tie, having made two previous appearances in the competition during his time at Bournemouth.
