Tottenham won 3-0 against Elfsborg in the Europa League on Thursday night and here are our player ratings from the match.

Spurs need a victory, or potentially a draw, to finish in the top eight and bypass the play-off round, which brings two fixtures next month, and instead they would head straight into the round of 16 in March. For this game, Ange Postecoglou had Micky van de Ven back and handed a start to 17-year-old Mikey Moore up front with Richarlison and Son Heung-min.

The first half brought plenty of control from the home side and a handful of chances but no way through. That eventually came in the 70th minutes but only after Postecoglou lost another player to injury with Radu Dragusin landing awkwardly and jarring his knee.

The Romanian was replaced by Dane Scarlett, meaning the 20-year-old striker could not head back out on loan after playing for two clubs when you can't play for three in a season. He made up for any disappointment from that by scoring his first goal for the club with an emphatic header from Dejan Kulusevski's inswinging cross.

Then came another big moment for the club's academy. Damola Ajayi came on for his debut and within a couple of minutes the 19-year-old winger dribbled inside, played a one-two with Scarlett and buried a shot inside the right-hand post.

To complete a magical night for the academy, Moore then scored his first goal for Tottenham deep into added time to make it three first goals for youth products. The 17-year-old ran up the pitch, cut inside his man and buried a great shot inside the left-hand post.

Here are our Tottenham player ratings:

Brandon Austin

Didn't have anything to do really other than take a few goal kicks. 6

Pedro Porro

Gave the ball away a few times but mostly defended well down his flank when called upon. 6

Archie Gray

Another performance at centre-back and he didn't put a foot wrong. 7

Micky van de Ven

Just the 45 minutes on his return and he wasn't particularly tested. Tidy enough in his play. 6

Ben Davies

Switched to centre-back after Dragusin went off and it was another solid shift from the Welshman. 7

Rodrigo Bentancur

Another who only played the first half and he tried to keep play moving in addition to some good defensive work. 6

Pape Matar Sarr

Carrying what looked like an ankle knock the way he limped off at half-time. He'd had a shot saved in the first half and played as a left-back after Dragusin went off. 6

Lucas Bergvall

Had the travelling fans on his back and Postecoglou telling him to calm down a few times in the first half as he gave the ball away. Grew into the game. 6

Mikey Moore

Went on a couple of early dribbles and had a shot saved well by the keeper. Kept plugging away and duly got his first goal for the club in added time at just 17-years-old. 8

Richarlison

Worked hard, including tracking back all the way to win a tackle in the Spurs right-back position in the first half. Got 81 minutes into his legs. 6

Son Heung-min

Spurs' best player in the first half and constantly had the beating of his man, setting up chances for his team-mates before coming off at the break. 7

Subs

Radu Dragusin

Lasted only 20 minutes before having to come off with what looked like a jarred knee. 5

Yves Bissouma

Helped Spurs take control in the second half with the visitors having very little of the ball. 7

Dejan Kulusevski

Curled in a lovely cross for Scarlett to head home and his quality caused Elfsborg plenty of problems. 7

Dane Scarlett

Can't now go out on loan but he made up for that with his first goal for the club with a terrific flying header. Then grabbed an assist for his link-up with Ajayi. Big night for the 20-year-old. 9

Damola Ajayi

What a night for the teenager as he stepped on to the pitch for his debut and within minutes had buried a shot inside the right-hand post. A terrific moment for him and the academy. 8
