Report

Tottenham finished their end-of-season tour with a comfortable 2-0 win over Mauritius at the Anjalay Stadium.

Robbie Keane slotted home the ball after 17 minutes and substitute Lee Barnard drilled in a shot from the edge of the area four minutes from time.

"We kept a clean sheet, scored twice and this is a national team, so I'm satisfied," said Spurs boss Martin Jol.

"We did well to keep possession in midfield but it wasn't the conditions for us to score a lot of goals."

"Mauritius has at least three players who looked very good to me," he added.

Rajesh Gunesh the coach of Mauritius was satisfied with his team's performance.

"With just five days preparation we cannot expect much more especially against a professional team like Spurs," he said.

Tottenham's sporting director Frank Arnesen also added that 17-year old Mauritian Evans Dorasami will be heading to London for six weeks training with the club.

"It's a dream that will come true," Dorasami told BBC Sport.

"I've always been giving my best with my team (AS Port Louis 2000 in Mauritius) and today I am collecting the rewards."
