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.

32 mins: GOAL! What has happened here?

A long ball forward sees Parrott and Mitrovic in a foot race to get to the ball. Mitrovic wins and tries to head the ball back to his goalkeeper. Parrott falls to the floor as Katic fumbles the ball. It comes loose and Parrott is aware enough to kick it into the net from the deck.

Tottenham u19 3 - 1 Red Star u19

45+2 mins: Spurs do well to see out the rest of the first half without conceding any more ground to Red Star. The visitors have only had one real chance in the first 45 minutes and they got a goal back.

Tottenham u19 3 - 1 Red Star u19

Almost a perfect first half for Spurs, they took a three goal lead but a lapse in concentration saw Red Star come back into the game with their captain Burmaz get a goal back and keep the door open for a comeback.

Second half: The two sides come back out onto the pitch for the second half. There doesn't look to be any changes so we'll pick up where we left off.

Nope that's wrong Milikic has been taken off for Red Star with Pisar replacing him.

Tottenham u19 4 - 2 Red Star u19 - Walcott OG

50 mins: GOAL! Two goals in two minutes. Pantovic sends the ball into the box from the right wing. There's no communication between Walcott and De Bie so Walcott tries to block the ball. He gets a foot to it but sends it into the back of the net.
