Nigerian striker Daniel Udoh put in a lively performance as Wycombe Wanderers held Tottenham Hotspur to a thrilling 2-2 draw in a pre-season encounter on Wednesday, Footynaija.com reports.
The League One side gave an excellent account of themselves against the reigning UEFA Europa League champions, with Udoh instrumental in one of their goals and putting in a tireless shift leading the line.
Tottenham, who have been linked with a move for another Nigerian star this summer, began brightly and took the lead through Pape Matar Sarr in the 14th minute. However, Wycombe grew into the game and were rewarded when Junior Quitirna levelled the score shortly after the half-hour mark.
