Giovani Lo Celso - 6: Had chance to put Gil through on goal after 17 minutes but pass easily cut out that summed up his – and Spurs’ – first half. Finally made a positive contribution just after break with nice turn and driving run to set-up chance for Gil. AFP

Tottenham ratings v Vitesse Arnhem: Davinson Sanchez 7, Harry Winks 4, Dele Alli 3

Much-changed Spurs XI beaten 1-0 against Dutch side in Europa Conference League

Nuno Espirito Santo's second-string Tottenham Hotspur side fell to a disappointing Europa Conference League defeat to Vitesse Arnhem.

The likes of Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min were all left at home as manager Nuno started with a completely new line-up to the one that defeated Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday.

And the move backfired as Spurs produced a disjointed performance from start to finish on Thursday to lose the game 1-0 to a fine strike from Maximilian Wittek in the 78th minute.

If former first-team regulars such as Harry Winks and Dele Alli were hoping to force their way into Nuno's plans, they failed miserably to do so at the GelreDome.

The closest Spurs came to scoring was when Bryan Gil struck the bar at the start of the second half after a driving run by Giovani Lo Celso. They now sit third in Group G, three points behind leaders Rennes.

Defence review at a glance

• Increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 but given “turbulent times it may be necessary to go faster”

• Prioritise a shift towards working with AI and autonomous systems

• Invest in the resilience of military space systems.

• Number of active reserves should be increased by 20%

• More F-35 fighter jets required in the next decade

• New “hybrid Navy” with AUKUS submarines and autonomous vessels
