Earlier this month, there were concerns about Harry Winks, who was still feeling pain in his ankle five months after his ligament injury at Burnley.
But he was finally able to complete 90 minutes for the first time against Barnsley last week and in Cyprus on Tuesday, it was as if the lay-off had never happened.
He delivered the kind of energetic, positive performance that had been his hallmark in a breakthrough season before he was taken off on a stretcher in agony at Turf Moor on April 1.
APOEL Nicosia were not the toughest of opponents, but Tottenham still laboured in the first half, missing the creativity of Dele Alli and particularly Christian Eriksen.
