Jose Mourinho made a host of changes from the side that failed to accomplish the all-important job against Dinamo Zagreb in midweek with Joe Rodon, Japhet Tanganga, Giovani Lo Celso and Carlos Vinicius making rare appearances under the Portuguese.
Spurs perhaps weren’t at their best but still managed to secure a favourable result thanks to a first-half tap-in from Carlos Vinicius and a second-half penalty from Harry Kane.
