Dane Scarlett reminded everyone of why he is so highly regarded at the club after bagging five goals in the tie, including a perfect hat-trick.
The 16-year-old made his first-team debut when came on to replace Lucas Moura in the 82nd minute of the 4-0 win against Ludogorets in a Europa League tie in November.
With fellow academy player Alfie Devine grabbing the headlines after scoring on his debut against Marine on Sunday, Scarlett has shown once again that the Spurs academy is brimming with exciting talent.
