Michel Vorm nearly makes the cut

Tottenham's back-up keeper was touch-and-go ahead of kick-off, so the club decided to lay out his kit in the changing room just in case.

The Dutch shot-stopper ended up sitting out the fixture, allowing lesser-heralded names to step into the fray.

One of those was substitute Archie Whiteman, a highly-regarded England youth prospect who was taken on the club's pre-season tour of America this summer. 

The 19-year-old was called up to provide cover from the bench for the second time following an inclusion in an EFL Cup squad against Gillingham in September 2016.

Paulo Gazzaniga makes first Premier League appearance in 687 days

The life of a third-string goalkeeper. No appearance for two years, then two injuries in a week and suddenly you're starting at Wembley. 

That's the position Paulo Gazzaniga finds himself in after making his first appearance in 22 months after both Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm had both picked up knocks.

The Argentine shot-stopper is a favoured choice of Mauricio Pochettino, who signed the 25-year-old on a five-year deal this summer and worked with him at former club Southampton. 

Gazzaniga's debut saw him more than justify his selection, with a string of strong stops that made the difference for Spurs in a tight game.

Maurcio Pochettino said: 'It did not surprise us. We had him in Southampton. When there was the possibility to sign here for us, there was no doubt over his quality. We have three and two younger that have a lot of potential.'

Ryan Mason returns to his old stomping ground

Tottenham academy product Ryan Mason was at Wembley to reunite with a few familiar faces. The England international made over 50 appearances during his time at the club and checked in as he continues his recovery from injury.

Now at Hull, the centre midfielder is recovering from a fractured skull he suffered back in January after a nasty collision with Gary Cahill.

Mason needed 14 metal plates and 42 staples inserted into his skull by neurosurgeons, who described his injury as 'the worst head injury seen in sport'.

Son Heung-Min makes history

Son's exquisite curled effort makes him the highest-scoring Asian player in the league's history.

The strike against Crystal Palace was his 20th in 72 games, taking him one ahead of Park Ji-Sung on 19 and seven ahead of Ki-Sung Yeung in third, with Shinji Okazaki's 12 strikes and eight goals from Crystal Palace's Lee Chung-Yong rounding off the top five.

Harry Kane frustrates Fantasy Football managers

On a gameweek filled with top sides facing one another, the safest captain choice appeared to be Harry Kane at home to the league's lowest-ranked side. The thinking was Kane would score a brace (at least) and managers worldwide would reap double points accordingly.

Instead Kane, like his blanks at home to Bournemouth, Swansea and Burnley, failed to score or do anything that would command serious points on Fantasy Football, leaving managers questioning their tactical nous entirely.
