#4 Hit: Toby Alderweireld
One of four Tottenham players featuring against their former side here, Toby Alderweireld was unsurprisingly the hosts' best defender and if not for his well-timed interventions, they'd be staring at a deeper deficit to overturn.
It wasn't a perfect individual display but standing alongside a mistake-laden Davinson Sanchez and an unconvincing fullback pair, he shone brightest as their most important player during testing situations when Ajax probed in search of more away goal.
He won five aerial duels, two tackles, one interception, clearance and completed a block over the 90 minutes. Vertonghen's unfortunate first-half injury, as bad as it was, is better than first feared after an accidental aerial collision with his centre-back partner.
Toby, who came through the incident unscathed, will undoubtedly be reflecting upon his own missed chances to bring the game back level, with two headed opportunities squandered from promising set-pieces - one of Spurs' true attacking threats on this occasion.
