Kazaiah Sterling reflected on a "great experience" after scoring his first senior goal for Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong.

The 18-year-old forward made a dream debut by coming off bench to score in added time as Spurs ran out 4-1 winners against Kitchee SC in front of 28,000 people at the Hong Kong National Stadium.

"I’m delighted to play my first game with the first team and to score as well," Sterling, who made 27 appearances for Spurs’ Under-18 side, and scored 11 goals in all competitions, told Tottenhamhotspur.com. "It was a great experience to play in front of a crowd that big. It was a special moment for me.

"I’d never been to Hong Kong before and I didn’t realise there was such a big Tottenham fanbase out here.

I’ve never signed so many autographs! Before this tour, I didn’t really have an autograph!”

The Premier League will be represented in Hong Kong again in July, when Liverpool, Leicester City, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion contest the Premier League Asia Trophy in July.
