Watch: Instant impact! Dane Scarlett comes off the bench to score a brilliant header to give Spurs the lead

Tottenham youngster Dane Scarlett gives Tottenham the lead with a lovely header from a Dejan Kulusevski cross against IF Elfsborg.

Scarlett came on from the bench to replace Radu Dragusin in the 66th minute after the Romanian picked up an injury having only come on at half-time to replace the returning Micky van de Ven.

And the 20-year-old made an immediate impact as he guided Kulusevski’s teasing cross in with a brilliant header past the goalkeeper to break the deadlock for Tottenham.

Tottenham confirmed the return of Scarlett from his loan spell at Oxford last week, a decision most likely driven by the club’s urgent need for reinforcements amid a mounting injury crisis.

Scarlett, who made 22 appearances for Oxford this season, contributed four goals and an assist during his time with the League One side.

He made waves during his time at the Spurs academy, specially with the U18s, for whom he scored 23 goals and assisted 4 in just 23 games.

Spurs are struggling with injuries to several key forwards, including Wilson Odobert, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson, and Dominic Solanke, leaving the squad short of attacking options.

Scarlett has the opportunity to take the chance and make his mark in the first team, and he appears to be taking it with both hands.

It has been rumoured that the club intends to loan him out to another club but a lot would depend how the last few days of the transfer window goes.

The North London club are said to be closing in on a move to sign young Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel. With terms reportedly agreed between the clubs, a move could be imminent.

Whether his arrival would impact Dane Scarlett’s future at the club remains to be seen.
