Even in emphatic victory concerns still emerge for Nuno Espirito Santo.
Just before the hour against NS Mura, Nuno was forced to make a triple change and bring on three players who for a long time looked like they would not be needed and able to put their feet up for the night.
With Spurs first toiling and then wobbling, Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son and Lucas Moura, Spurs’s most senior attackers, were all summoned from the bench to help steady the ship.
It was a moment which summed up how much of a meal Spurs were making of overcoming their limited visitors in their second Europa Conference League group game.
