App exclusive: The game in numbers - Spurs 4-0 Ludogorets

On Thursday night, we produced a shrewd and professional performance to take all three points against Ludogorets in the Europa League with a 4-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Carlos Vinicius gave us a healthy lead in the first half as he fired home his first two goals in a Spurs shirt. A 56-yard curler from Harry Winks then made it three on 63 minutes before Lucas Moura wrapped up proceedings as he rifled home 10 minutes later.

Here’s a look at the key statistics and numbers behind the game...

Youth and development

3 - There were three debutants for us against Ludogorets and they were all products of our Academy as Harvey White, Dane Scarlett and Alfie Whiteman came off the bench for their first senior appearances in a Spurs shirt. The youthful exuberance of Harvey and Dane saw the pair come so close to marking their debuts with a goal each, while goalkeeper Alfie helped us earn our second clean sheet in this year’s Europa League.
