Solanke also carried out his own post match interview, which would have been a welcome sight for Spurs fans. The Englishman said: "Yeah I'll be good, just rolled my ankle a little bit, but I'll be fine."

Frank will be hugely relieved by Romero and Solanke's conditions. He came into the contest with 11 first team players injured. He was missing forwards James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison, as well as midfielders Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, and defenders Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, Pedro Porro and Djed Spence.
