Just three days after refusing to applaud supporters and complaining about the boos, Micky van de Ven set about soothing Tottenham’s wounds with an outrageous solo goal.
Collecting the ball on the edge of his own penalty area, the centre half accelerated down the centre of the pitch, roared on as he carved through Copenhagen’s green shirts and thrashed a shot into the net.
Van de Ven could not resist cupping an ear as he wheeled away to celebrated. It was his sixth of the season and the third of the night for Spurs, who were down to 10 men.
