The failure by Micky van de Ven or Destiny Udogie to cut out the cross led to Minteh’s opener. Then Rutter was free to receive Mitoma’s pass and run through on goal with no opposition. Worst of all was the third when Udogie failed to stop Rutter’s cross from the right, then Welbeck jumped above Cristian Romero in the box.

Spurs, meanwhile, come into the match on the back of a brilliant display against Manchester United which resulted in a 3-0 victory for Ange Postecoglou ’s men at Old Trafford. They have won their last five games across all competitions and can climb closer to the top four with a victory this afternoon.
