Simons was the next to notch from 12 yards in the dying embers, darting onto a Randal Kolo Muani knockdown after a superb burst from Lucas Bergvall. He was felled by Igoh Ogbu, and the Dutchman duly did the honours to wrap up the points. Mathys Tel made his first appearance in Europe’s top competition for Spurs just a day after he was added into the Champions League squad in place of the injured Dominic Solanke. The Frenchman had initially been omitted when the first squad was submitted back in September. Now, this victory lifts Tottenham into eighth in the Champions League table, and it is a step very much in the right direction for Frank and his men as they prepare to face Nottingham Forest at the weekend.
