Full house (not) for that dead rubber, but an opportunity to see some Spurs players I like (therefore so should you).
Good photos are Spurs.com, the other ones are mine
Tyrese Hall is the best footballer everytime I see him. Expert at finding separation and get the game going forward. He's a catalyst.
Leo Black also has good movement that's not stemming from "go der play der" coaching.
Oliver Irow with the brace including the second, turning lead into gold working a channel punt into winning a penalty he converted. Good box movement, worked the backline and
Very impressed by Yusuf Akhamrich, for my first time watching. Proper left winger, quick, makes runs in behind and delivered the best drilled cross I've seen at this level this season.
Maeson King did well at LB defensively.
Rio Kyerematen is worth a look for being a passer who can win it back and change the picture on the ball. Screened the defence well, some nice needle passes even if I've seen him better.

Max McKnight did okay from RB getting a lot of touches and attacking moves even if his crosses didn't connect.
Max Robson was okay, kept things ticking in midfield.
Archie Baptiste was the best of the two CBs with Pele Arganese-McDermott I thought was on the line ; who had to battle with the two Zagreb CFs
