After a decade at the club, former Spurs captain Son left to join LAFC in a record-breaking MLS deal after finally delivering on his promise by winning the Europa League.

Football Insider verdict

Considering the Lilywhites were not even thought of as possible contenders against the best side in Europe, a 2-2 draw is still a respectable result, despite conceding two late goals late on.

In a short space of time, Thomas Frank has already instilled remarkable improvements, epitomised by the tactical versatility, doggedness and last ditch defending.

The north London club are certainly not the finished article, but going toe-to-toe with arguably the best attack in the world, limiting them to chances, it highly commendable.

Looking ahead to the new season, there is a great cause for optimism at White Hart Lane as the side looks to push on and reach new heights by aiming to be better competitors in not just the European competition but also domestically.

The loss of Son will leave a hole at Tottenham, but there will be new leaders who will step up and “Dare to do”.

The Danish manager has shown he could be the key to bringing about a new look Spurs going forward in the future, but after just three months it is unfair to write the project off already.
