Micky van de Ven scored a contender for one of the best Champions League goals as Tottenham thrashed Copenhagen in a much-needed 4-0 home victory.

With Spurs leading 2-0 but down to 10 men after Brennan Johnson's red card, Van de Ven ran from the edge of his area to sprint the entire length of the pitch past several Copenhagen players before hitting a superb, powerful low finish into the bottom corner.

The defender's goal was the perfect apology for his actions on Saturday after he ignored the pleas of his boss, Thomas Frank, to applaud the Spurs fans following the wretched 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea.

Team news

• Tottenham made five changes from Saturday’s home loss to Chelsea, with Mohammed Kudus absent after picking up a knock in the defeat.
• Captain Cristian Romero and left-back Destiny Udogie made their first starts in a month after both recovering from injuries, while attackers Xavi Simons, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert started.
• Joao Palhinha, Djed Spence and Kevin Danso dropped to the bench, with Lucas Bergvall missing due to concussion.

This display, however, was a far cry from the weekend's horror...
