Tottenham fought back from a goal behind to earn a point away to Scottish giants Rangers in the Europa League.
Rangers had the lion share of the chances in the first period, with former Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster having to bail his team out a couple of times.
With the scores goalless at the break, it took the hosts just 81 seconds after the restart to gain the advantage.
A searching cross-field pass from James Tavenier found Hamza Igamame who had evaded Pedro Porro to strike the ball past Forster and send Ibrox into raptures.
After a triple substitution from Ange Postecoglou, Spurs raised the intensity and were rewarded for their efforts with 15 minutes to go.
Dominic Solanke rolled the ball into a central area which found Dejan Kulusevski, who drilled past Jack Butland to draw the visitors level.
The biggest opportunity for the winner fell to substitute Cyriel Dessers but Forster did superbly well to close the angle and thwart the Nigerian.
It was a team performance filled with positives and negatives. Here’s how we rated the individuals.
Fraser Forster – 8
The 6’7 stopper was called into action inside the opening ten minutes as he threw a strong hand at Nedim Bajrami’s rifled effort.
Forster played a delightfully accurate pass to send Timo Werner through, but the German completely mistimed controlling the ball.
The imposing Englishman made a phenomenal stop in the last five minutes to deny Cyril Dessers from finding a winner and was the best player on the pitch in a Tottenham shirt.
Pedro Porro – 3
Porro had a couple of neat touches going forward, releasing the runs of Bentancur and Johnson.
The Spaniard was rash defensively as he dived into challenges and was often out-thought by the likes of Igamame and Bajrami.
He lost the run of the former for the opening goal as the Moroccan breezed past him with ease before stroking the ball past Forster.
Porro is starting to emerge as a liability in defence with his lack of awareness letting him down.
Archie Gray – 6.5
The makeshift centre-half was occasionally overzealous and embarked on marauding gallops forward - beating a few men before losing possession
But on a positive note, Gray aerially dominated his opposing forward and played with maturity in an unfamiliar role.
Radu Dragusin – 6
At the tender age of 22, Dragusin is responsible for being a leader in the backline while Cristian Romero, Ben Davies and Micky van de Ven are out injured.
The central defender used his body well to shrug off pressure and tried to keep possession in tight areas, and his 70 completed passes were the most of any player on the pitch.
Most importantly, Dragusin was strong from defensive corners to rise highest and avert any danger.
Destiny Udogie - 5
Udogie was outnumbered at times this evening, with Brennan Johnson and Heung-min Son not scampering back quick enough to track the advanced Tavernier.
Offensively, the Italian did well to bomb up and down the pitch and provide an option on the overlap.
Brought a freshness and an air of calmness to proceedings that Spurs have lacked over the last few weeks.
Postecoglou surprisingly opted to take the Uruguayan off on the hour mark with Tottenham chasing the game.
Yves Bissouma – 5
It was a average showing from Bissouma who chose the safe option more often then the adventurous and risky choice.
The Malian is suspended for the weekend’s match against Southampton which affords him a week to regroup and improve.
James Maddison – 6
Almost created a carbon copy of Spurs' third goal against Chelsea as he got to the byline and pulled it back to Son.
The creative midfielder floated in and out of proceedings and was reluctant to shoot when perhaps he should have.
Maddison smartly used his body to allow Solanke’s pass to roll into Kulusevski, who breached Butland’s net.
Brennan Johnson – 5
Missed a chance from two yards out but the linesman spared his blushes as he raised his flag for offside.
Johnson almost grabbed the equaliser in the early stages of the second period, but couldn’t quite wrap his foot around the ball and it just missed the top corner.
After coming off early on the weekend against Chelsea due to illness, the Welshman made way again at the hour mark.
Timo Werner – 2
The RB Leipzig loanee had Tottenham’s first attempt of the contest but his curling effort lacked conviction.
The rest of his display followed a similar pattern as he frequently halted Spurs attacks due to low confidence and self-belief.
Werner was axed at the interval for Dejan Kulusevski after doing himself no favours for his chances of retaining a starting spot.
Heung-min Son – 5
Son was deployed in a central role before drifting out to the left-hand flank as the first half grew.
The captain missed arguably Spurs’ best opportunity of the first period as his poked effort from Maddison’s cutback was comfortably gathered by Butland.
After Solanke was brought on, Son was tasked with keeping the width. He struggled to get past Rangers right-back James Tavernier but often found Udogie’s overlapping runs.

Substitutes
Dejan Kulusesvki – 8
The Swede was brought on by Postecoglou at halftime to add more decisiveness to Spurs’ forays forward.
Kulusevski certainly made an impact, as he levelled matters with a drilled finish with a quarter of an hour to go.
He commenced the move with a slick ball in behind to Solanke before traveling into a central area to finish.
Spurs simply pose much more of a threat when the 24-year-old is on the pitch.
Dominic Solanke – 6.5
Solanke was introduced into the match with the Lilywhites desperately needing a focal point.
The Englishman’s presence took a while to disrupt the Rangers backline but he eventually linked up well to help restore parity.
Spurs’ record signing ran in behind before slotting a ball back centrally which found its way to Kulusevski.
Lucas Bergvall – 7
The teenager almost scored with his first touch as he dragged a volley into the ground and just wide of Butland’s goal.
The midfielder was slightly unfortunate to pick up a booking as he passed the ball out wide and slightly caught Nicolas Raskin.
Bergvall fulfilled Bentancur’s role astutely and dictated the tempo well. A bright cameo from the Swede.
Pape Matar Sarr – 5
Sarr came on to add some combativeness to the midfield with the incessant press of the opposition overwhelming the North Londoners. However, the Senegalese lacked urgency at crucial points.
