The fear going into this game — and this season — was that Tottenham are short on quality now.

Son Heung-min has gone. James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are both recovering from knee surgery. No wonder Spurs fans are so anxious for high-grade replacements at the end of the window.

But this game showed Spurs have more quality than we thought and while they might be short on big names right now, they have plenty of talented young players who Thomas Frank can turn into stars.

Mohammed Kudus was electric on his Spurs debut, never letting PSG rest. Djed Spence, who has just agreed a new improved contract, was perfect at left wing-back, shutting down Achraf Hakimi all night.

Pape Matar Sarr, the furthest forward of Spurs’ three men in central midfield, grew into the game until he was radiating authority, driving Tottenham on and shutting his opponents.

It was only the turning of the game at the end that suggested this squad could maybe do with some more experience, just to help them see out leads like the one they held for much of tonight’s game.
