Mauricio Pochettino made nine changes from the team that ended Chelsea's 14-match winning run on Wednesday and his stand-ins struggled, until the 71st minute when Davies headed home his first goal in Tottenham's colours.

Son put the result beyond doubt with 10 minutes to play after Pochettino had brought on Dele Alli earlier in the second half to inject some life into his side.
