Juventus vs Tottenham result: Harry Kane goal wins the match as striker scores from halfway line

Harry Kane scored a stunning goal from the halfway line to give Tottenham Hotspur a 3-2 victory over Juventus in their International Champions Cup clash at Singapore's National Stadium.

The England captain scored deep into injury-time to spark wild celebrations among his teammates, who could scarcely believe their eyes after Kane hit a first-time effort from halfway over the head of Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

Spurs had initially take the lead thanks to Erik Lamela's first-half effort, despite manager Mauricio Pochettino fielding an experimental team against Maurizio Sarri's full-strength Juventus side. But the Italian side's talent soon told in the second half as Gonzalo Higuain came off the bench to equalise before Cristiano Ronaldo put them ahead inside four minutes of each other.

Lucas Moura levelled soon after for the Premier League side with Kane introduced for the second half, while Sarri handed first appearances to Juventus new boys Matthijs de Ligt and Adrien Rabiot. But the best was saved for last as Kane produced his moment of magic to seal the victory to keep Tottenham's pre-season plans on track. Re-live the action below.

Team news

Tottenham supporters will have to wait a little longer for Ndombele to make his first start in a Spurs shirt.

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga, Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Tanganga, Georgiou, Winks, Skipp, Lamela, Dele, Son, Parrott.

Eriksen is on the bench while Lloris misses out due to tonsillitis.

Walker-Peters vs Ronaldo should be fun...

Juventus XI: Buffon, Cancelo, Rugani, Bonucci, De Sciglio, Emre Can, Pjanic, Matuidi, Bernardeschi, Mandzukic, Ronaldo

De Ligt is named on the bench in Maurizio Sarri's first game in charge, while Ramsey is still working towards full fitness. Rabiot and Higuian are also players that could feature as substitues.

Pochettino places a huge amount of faith in the young players in his squad and there are some huge tests for some of the teenagers out there.

17-year-old Troy Parrott comes up against Leonardo Bonucci, a veteran regarded as one of the best Italian defenders of a generation.

The entire defence will be tested by the power of Ronaldo, including Tanganga, 20, and Georgiou, 22.

Even aged 34, there has been no sign of Ronaldo slowing down in recent years. He never gives less than everything he's got in training, and today we have the first chance to see what this season may hold for him.

2019-07-21T11:21:56.280Z

Not long to go, kick-off in Singapore is just under 10 minutes away.

2019-07-21T11:25:18.946Z

So, we are likely to get our first glimpse of new Tottenham signing Tanguy Ndombele.

Here's why he might be the most important Spurs signing in, well, ever...

Why Tanguy Ndombele is the most important transfer in years

KICK OFF

2019-07-21T11:37:26.940Z

We're off in Singapore!

After a coin toss, that was in fact more of a card toss...don't ask, Tottenham begin the match.

Spurs begin their International Champions Cup campaign against Juventus. These really are the moments that you look back on as a player at the end of your career and think: 'I was there'...

2019-07-21T11:38:19.863Z

1: Strong start from Spurs, straight back to Tanganga and hoofed out for a throw in Juventus' half. Welcome to pre-season, everybody!

2019-07-21T11:39:09.843Z

What a man

2019-07-21T11:40:57.710Z

4: It appears that Mandzukic is playing through the middle and Ronaldo is playing with what seems to be a free role, either that or he's ignoring everything Sarri said to him ahead of the game.

2019-07-21T11:42:16.336Z

5: Chance for Spurs! Great pressing high up the pitch from Skipp sees Spurs win possession and Son is played through. He takes it wide, wide again and then even wider before getting a shot away, which hits the outside of the post.

2019-07-21T11:43:52.373Z

6: Ronaldo has just attempted an overhead kick which gets the fans going here in this impressive stadium. It goes nowhere near the ball, but that's not the point...

2019-07-21T11:46:53.033Z

9: Another chance for Son comes and goes. Great play down the left from Georgiou as he curls a cross into the box with the outside of his left foot, Son takes it on his chest then fires the ball into the side netting. Spurs lively, especially on that left wing.

2019-07-21T11:50:04.653Z

11: Oh it should be 1-0 to Juventus! The Italian side pinch the ball back on the edge of the area from Georgiou and work it to Ronaldo on the left. He sets himself then is almost certainly about to prod it beyond Gazzaniga, but Alderweireld arrives just in time to fling a boot at it and deflect the effort away.

2019-07-21T11:52:32.003Z

15: Spurs are pressing so, so well. They're fired up and full of energy, which is causing Juventus all sorts of problems as they look to play out from the back. Dele, Skipp and Winks are putting in a great shift in the middle.

2019-07-21T12:00:13.470Z

22: After a fast start the game has settled down a little. Juventus are still powerless against this very impressive Tottenham press.

I'm not too sure if Sarri will be impressed with this so far. The Juve midfield is so close to the defenders in possession and that is making it very hard for them to get up the pitch.

2019-07-21T12:05:38.330Z

26: A Ronaldo volley has the crowd very excited.

Cancelo chips a cross from the right his way and he slices it wide.

GOAL!

2019-07-21T12:09:07.310Z

Juventus 0-1 Tottenham

30: Spurs take a deserved lead as Lamela is well-placed to tap in Buffon's save.

Son breaks forward and lays the ball to his right and Parrott forces a low save from the Juventus goalkeeper, who palms it into the six-yard area and Lamela takes advantage with a simple finish.

2019-07-21T12:14:02.130Z

36: Spurs almost go 2-0 up but the offside flag is raised after Dele's brilliant first-time pass to Son, who squares it for a tap-in.

Meanwhile, Kane, Sissoko and Vertonghen are all warming up on the touchline. Some crowd entertainment or will we see them in the second half?
