Despite Spurs being reduced to 10 men after the dismissal of Yves Bissouma, they rallied in the second half and took the lead through Romero's defensive partner, Mickey van de Ven.

The visitors then survived the rest of the match to ensure they remained unbeaten in the league and sat top of the table going into the international break - much of which was down to the performance of their captain.

Romero made three interceptions and three tackles while also maintaining a 90% pass accuracy and completing one key pass.

The Argentine's work both in and out of possession was key to Spurs getting an important result in difficult circumstances - a clear marker of the progress made under Ange Postecoglu.

The north Londoners are next in action following the international break when they take on Fulham.
