Heung-Min Son scored twice with substitute Arnaut Danjuma adding a third just before to send Antonio Conte’s men into the next round.
Here’s how we felt the North End players fared on the night...
5. Andrew Hughes - 7
Like Storey he dealt very well with Spurs' dual threat as they played wingers and wing backs. He was tidy in possession and his ever consistent self. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. Alan Browne - 7
He may be one that divides opinion but it is easy for the Irishman to become a scapegoat. Particularly in the first half he was important in getting North End up the pitch driving with the ball. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
7. Ben Whiteman - 6
Showed some signs of promise in a more advanced role against Tottenham but did not have quite as much involvement in the game as he usually does, in a more pressurised position up against some top players. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
8. Ryan Ledson - 7
Ledson made some important tackles throughout the game and seemed to benefit from playing in the holding role with more of the leading cast alongside him, including Ben Whiteman. Photo: Shaun Botterill
