STAR PLAYER
Erik Lamela: The Argentina international came close to leaving White Hart Lane in the summer but he finally appears to be fulfilling his potential, completing a first-half hat-trick in just 37 minutes.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Tom Carroll has been on loan at Leyton Orient, Derby, QPR and Swansea, but the Spurs academy graduate capped an excellent display with his first senior goal for the club. Weaving his way through the Monaco defence, the 23-year-old finished from an acute angle before being swamped by his team-mates.
VIEW FROM THE BENCH
Mauricio Pochettino will be pleased to have finished top of Group J, securing their place amongst the seeded sides and a return home leg in the last 32. It was also the first time this season that the Spurs boss has not needed to call upon Harry Kane and he will have been relieved to have given the striker a rest with the Christmas schedule fast approaching.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
Whatever happened to Joao Moutinho? One of the last remaining stars of Monaco’s financial splurge and once renowned throughout Europe for his playmaking ability, Moutinho was largely anonymous at White Hart Lane. Tottenham almost signed him a few years ago but he would struggle to make it into the home side’s XI on this evidence.
