Tottenham U21 coach Wayne Burnett is delighted with the progress of his young players.

Burnett believes his talented young stars are at the best place to develop following a 4-0 drubbing of League 1 side Gillingham in their latest Checkatrade Trophy tie.

Goals from Jack Roles, Paris Maghoma, Jaden Brown and a late penalty from Dylan Duncan earned the result.

"We have a brilliant manager at this football club who gives players an opportunity," Burnettt said. "You can be a wonderful football player but if you're not given the opportunity it doesn't matter how good you are.

"So we're fortunate we have a manager that's willing to give players and young players an opportunity.

"We've got a very very young team so I can't say whether they're good enough, I can't answer that, all I can say is that they can continue to grow and develop and they're at a fantastic football club to enable that to happen.

"Where the future lies who knows, but they'll continue to get the very best opportunity and they've got a wonderful platform to try and make that happen."
