Tottenham Hotspur secured a 4-0 win at home against Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday night as Thomas Frank’s side moved into the automatic qualification spots.Let’s take a look at the five things we learned:Photo by James Gill – Danehouse/Getty ImagesTottenham really needed that positive and creative performanceGetting a victory in the league phase of the Champions League is always a big positive given how tough the competition is.Tottenham Hotspur secured their second win in the tournament tonight after putting four past Copenhagen, and that has taken them into seventh place at least for now.The cherry on the cake, however, is the manner in which Spurs have gone on to secure all three points, with Frank’s side putting in a positive and creative performance.Frank’s side has often been labelled as pragmatic, a question he had to answer in his pre-match press conference, but tonight’s display is as positive as it gets for Tottenham. Four in a single game is the most Spurs have scored in a single match under the Dane this season, and they managed that with ten men.The next step, however, is about being consistent and building on this performance. Manchester United are next at the weekend, and if Spurs can replicate a similar display, then it would be a step in the right direction.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramXavi Simons looked really sharpSimons has come under fire in recent weeks since his move to Tottenham, with the midfielder often failing to impress in games for Spurs this season.Coming into this tie, he had managed just one assist in 12 appearances, which is far from ideal for a player who is meant to shoulder most of the creative burden.Today, however, Simons put on his best performance in a Tottenham shirt, grabbing the assist for Spurs’ opener with a nice through ball to Johnson.He could also have gotten a couple of others had Randal Kolo Muani tucked away the two other big chances he created. It was indeed a positive, sharp display that should do the Dutchman’s confidence a lot of good.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramMicky van de Ven recreates Sonny’s Ballon d’Or goalMicky van de Ven has been in and among the goals for Tottenham this season, with the Dutchman scoring five in as many games.While he has been scoring from corners, the Dutchman decided to up the ante today, and his strike was the pick of the bunch.It was a solo effort reminiscent of Son’s goal against Burnley, which saw him win the Puskas Award.Van de Ven ran from his defence, beating the entire Copenhagen team before slotting in coolly to make it three for Spurs.Tottenham should definitely be looking to tie the defender down to a new contract, given his performances this season.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramA nearly performance from Randal Kolo MuaniKolo Muani was Frank’s choice up top this evening, and the centre-forward, who is only just getting up to speed, looked good, but it is clear he is not quite there yet.He had two good opportunities to grab a goal of his own, but his headed effort failed to hit the target, while another great chance in the box went wide.He picked up an assist for Odobert’s goal, and his pressing from the front was impressive. His link-up and hold-up play were also sharp, which is encouraging.You get the feeling that when he has some sharpness and confidence, the goals will follow. Positive early signs, though.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramDestiny Udogie provides much-needed natural width for SpursToday also saw Udogie get a start from the off, having missed the last few games because of injury.The full-back looked really good from the left as he provided natural width for Tottenham when they looked to attack.A left-footed full-back on the left surely offers greater balance, and that is what Udogie brings to this Tottenham team, something that has been lacking when Spurs use Djed Spence.Most of Tottenham’s wingers love to take up inverted roles, and if that is the case, having a left-footed full-back who can play crosses in first time is a great asset.His return could see Spence’s minutes reduce as competition for that spot is set to increase, but he is a great addition to this Tottenham side that often struggles for creativity.READ MORE: Tottenham player ratings from 4-0 win over FC Copenhagen as midfield star drops exciting 8.5/10The post Five things we learned from Tottenham’s 4-0 Champions League win against Copenhagen appeared first on Spurs Web.
