Conor Gallagher scored the equaliser as Tottenham Hotspur maintained their unbeaten pre-season campaign with a 1-1 draw against Getafe at the club's training ground.
Roberto De Zerbi's side were forced to come from behind after Alberto Risco put the Spanish visitors ahead, but Gallagher responded quickly to ensure Spurs extended their unbeaten run to five matches.
Gallagher rescues Spurs after Getafe opener
The behind-closed-doors friendly was played over two 35-minute halves, with Tottenham creating the better opportunities before the break.
Ben Davies came closest to opening the scoring when he headed Andy Robertson's free-kick narrowly wide, while Mikey Moore and Richarlison both threatened after the restart.
Getafe eventually broke the deadlock in the 55th minute as Alberto Risco exchanged passes before finishing past AntonÃn Kinský.
Tottenham responded almost immediately. Richarlison held the ball up well before Gallagher arrived to sweep home the equaliser just five minutes later.
New signings continue to settle
De Zerbi handed starts to summer arrivals Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke and Andy Robertson, while Archie Gray captained the side.
The trio continued building match fitness as Tottenham's preparations for the new season gathered momentum, with the North London club remaining unbeaten throughout pre-season.
Richarlison almost snatched a late winner, but goalkeeper David Soria produced another save to deny the Brazilian and preserve the draw for Getafe.
