Nuno Espirito Santo insists his side can still progress from Europa Conference League group stage after Tottenham lost 1-0 to Vitesse as the Spurs boss backs his decision to leave the big guns at home

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo says his side can still qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League after a 1-0 loss to Vitesse Arnhem.

Nuno changed his entire starting XI and left all of his big guns at home in order to prepare for Sunday's Premier League match with West Ham and a second string were undone by Maximilian Wittek's 78th-minute strike.

The side Nuno picked still had nine international players, but they were never really in the game and Bryan Gil's shot that hit the crossbar early in the second half was their only moment of note.
