Ghana forward Mohammed Kudus was on target from the spot for his first Tottenham Hotspur goal in the Champions League in their victory over Slavia Prague.
The 25-year-old netted the second goal with a penalty straight down the middle five minutes after the break, after Pedro Porro was fouled by Youssoupha Sanyang.
Kudus now has three goals and six assists in all competitions for the Lilywhites.
“I think actually Mo started the season quite well,” Spurs boss Thomas Frank said in his post-match press conference.
“Then he had a dip, and now I think in the last three performances or something like that, it seems he has that freshness, energy, acceleration, decisiveness in his actions.”
Kudus’ strike doubled Spurs’ lead after David Zima inadvertently headed into his own net on 26 minutes.
Xavi Simons then added the third from the spot following a foul by Igoh Ogbu in the 79th minute.
The victory marks a return to winning ways for the English club, who suffered a 5-3 defeat to PSG in their previous outing in the competition.
Up next for Spurs is a Premier League match away to Nottingham Forest on December 14.
