The moment has finally been. Spurs have had their first match at the new White Hart Lane and have completed the first of two test events.
Tottenham under-18s welcomed their Southampton counterparts to play in front of a limited capacity 28,987 crowd as football was played on the turf for the first time.
The Lilywhites came away with a 3-1 win and no doubt, an incredible experience.
Eventually the ground will hold 62,062 fans when it opens officially for the April 3 Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
The progress after months of delays has left everyone with a swell of optimism and even the Saints couldn't ignore the magnitude of the game despite their defeat.

Southampton under-18s coach Paul Hardyman explained it would be an unforgettable experience for his players despite the frustrations of their first half performance.
He told the club website: "We were very disappointed with the first-half. I think the boys were a little bit nervous, very nervous and that came out and in the second-half we were much better.
"I said to them at half-time we would score the next goal and we did. For the ten minutes after I thought we did really well, we created opportunities and their keeper has made three great saves to keep them in the lead.
"It’s a great experience for these lads playing here in such a fantastic stadium and it is lovely. Some of them might not ever play here again.

"It’s a day that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives but from a footballing point of view it is a little bit disappointing that we did concede two really poor goals we should have done better with.
"Playing in front of a crowd just gives them that little bit more of an edge that they’re going to need if they’re going to progress in their career.!
