On Thursday evening, Spurs were in the Netherlands to lock horns with Eredivise side AZ Alkmaar, in the Europa League round of 16.
How things went for Tottenham Hotspur over in the Netherlands on Thursday
For the task at hand, Ange Postecoglou opted for a line up of; Vicario; Spence, Gray, Danso, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Tel, Son.
After 17 minutes, AZ took the lead - as Bergvall sliced the ball into his own net, following a corner. Bit of a freak goal - but it had bee an extremely uninspiring start to the game for Spurs regardless.
Midway through the first half, nice quick passing from the hosts lead to former Spurs striker Troy Parrott getting a shot away, but Gray was on hand to make an important block. Really horrendous start from Ange's side.
Half an hour, Parrott went clean through on goal, but when one on one, his effort was superbly saved by Vicario's heel. It would have been a tight one for offside. Incredible save, and a huge let off for Spurs.
To sum up the first half - after 34 minutes, Spurs had a dangerous free kick. From there, Maddison attempted to play a one-two with Son, but the skippers lay off went behind Maddison. Comedic stuff, really is.
With two minutes of the opening period remaining, AZ had a goal mouth scramble that they could not force in, which was followed by a Peer Koopmeiners strike being well blocked by Bergvall. There have been some terrible halves from Spurs this season. This may well have been the worst of the lot.
At half-time, Ange made a change, replacing Tel with Odobert, as one France U21 international replaced another. Sadly, it cannot be denied that the 19-year old seriously struggled in the first half.
Three minutes into the second half, Bergvall did well to win the ball back in the middle of the park, before driving forward and cutting a shot across goal. Normally something like this wouldn't get a mention - but such has been the lack of quality of this game, it is one of the things worth mentioning.
Six minutes into the second half, Son did well to create some space when cutting inside, but he fired his shot off target from the edge of the box.
Just a minute later, Ernest Poku struck a low effort towards Vicario's near post, but the goalkeeper got down quickly to make a strong save. Just so, so dire all round from Ange's side. Really terrible.
With just under twenty minutes to go, Ange made a triple change. Porro, Solanke, and Sarr, replaced Udogie, Son, and Maddison.
As the clock hit 90, Solanke went down, and had to be replaced by Scarlett - really really sums up the evening for Spurs. With the final touch of the game, Odobert headed over a Porro cross.
That was that. Nothing missing, Spurs genuinely did not have any chance of note to report on after the 51st minute, aside from that header. In reality, anything before that was clutching at straws, half chances at best. What an awful night.
