Harry Kane fires in Tottenham's fifth and final goal
Harry Kane fires in Tottenham's fifth and final goal

Tottenham gave their season a much-needed shot in the arm with a 5-0 demolition of Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.

It has been a horrible start to the campaign for Mauricio Pochettino's men, who had only won three games before this, but they put all their problems behind them in a pulsating display in Group B.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min both scored twice while Erik Lamela had a red letter day on his 200th appearance for the club, adding a second-half goal to his two assists.

Pochettino, who has admitted his job could be on the line if their slump continues, will hope this can be the start of a resurgence, though that will be put to the immediate test in their next game when they visit Liverpool in the Premier League.

It has to be said that Red Star, who somehow were supported by over 200 fans despite a ban by UEFA, were not up to much, but Spurs were simply too hot to handle and produced a result that went some way to righting the wrongs of that 7-2 humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich last time out.

It also had importance in their ambitions of making it out of the group as they now move into second place and will fancy their chances of progressing.

Spurs haven't had the greatest start to their Champions League campaign this season. An opening fixture draw with Olympiacos was followed by a demolishing defeat at home to Bayern Munich. 

They look to make things right tonight against Red Star who sit second in Group B, but first up the youth teams go head-to-head

Quite strangely the Tottenham Hotspur under 19s have started their UEFA Youth League campaign in the same fashion as the first team.

A 1-1 draw away at Olympiacos in September was followed by a 4-1 defeat at home to Bayern Munich. 

That leaves the youth side in fourth position with a win much needed.

Could the youth team's result this afternoon reflect the first team's this evening?

The u19s haven't won a UEFA League game since February. In that match they travelled to PAOK Thessaloniki FC and came away with a 1-0 win.

Since then they've played three matches, against Porto, Olympiacos and Bayern Munich and have lost two with one draw.

They'll be hoping for a change in fortunes today.

This will be the first time the two youth sides have faced each other. They both set up in 4-4-2 formations but that could change at kick off.

Recent form shows Tottenham have two wins out of their last five games but they were way earlier in the year.

Red Star's 2-1 victory over Olympiacos earlier this month was their first victory in five matches and a 0-0 draw with Bayern Munich sees them second in the table on goal difference.

Ten minutes to go until kick off, both teams need a win but Tottenham's home advantage may be the edge they need to get over the line.

Tottenham u19 0 - 0 Red Star u19

Kick off: The game today is being played at Tottenham's training ground. Spurs, all in white, get the game underway.

Tottenham u19 0 - 0 Red Star u19

2 mins: The pitch is in great condition and the training ground itself looks brilliant. Spurs take possession of the ball in the early stages and pick up a free kick just in Red Star's half. A long ball forward goes out of play for a Red Star goal kick.
