Tottenham boss Thomas Frank says Jun'ai Byfield deserved his chance against Borussia Dortmund last night.

The 17 year-old midfielder entered the fray just past the hour mark as Spurs enjoyed an impressive 2-0 Champions League win in London.

Frank said afterwards: "No (he didn't look out of place), no, not at all.

"Jun'ai has impressed throughout the training. The players trust him. Clearly they rate him highly. I rate him highly. One thing is to get your debut for Tottenham, the last five minutes, 4-0 up and everything is smooth.

"Another thing is to get your debut in the Champions League, a big night against Dortmund and we needed to win the game. And he just came in, composed, calm, on top of this. Wow. I hope his parents are very proud. They should be."
