Tottenham lose 1-0 against modest Vitesse with the majority of their top players left in England for rest
Tottenham's decision to leave their big guns at home saw them lose 1-0 to Vitesse Arnhem in Group G of Europa Conference League.
Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, Cristian Romero and Hugo Lloris did not travel to the Netherlands with Sunday's clash at West Ham in mind and a second-string were undone by Maximilian Wittek's 78th-minute strike.

Nuno has shown the competition respect so far but made it clear where his priorities lay, leaving the entire XI that played 90 minutes at Newcastle last weekend at home to train ahead of Sunday's Premier League visit to the Hammers.
The side Nuno Espirito Santo picked still had nine international players, but they were never really in the game and Bryan Gil's shot that hit the crossbar early in the second half was their only moment of note.
It was no surprise when the goal came 12 minutes from time as Wittek brilliantly volleyed home Dasa's cross from the edge of the area to send the home crowd wild.
