Geoff: Great going forward, horrible at the back and completely ran out of steam. A win was critical and puts us in a great position to avoid extra play-off games. Scary having to rely just on school kids from the bench, though, and if there aren't two or three first-team level signings in the next week, this might be as good as it gets.

Tottenham put themselves in a strong position to finish inside the top eight of the Europa League table and qualify directly for the last 16 by beating Hoffenheim 3-2.
