It was a good point for Tottenham in the end tonight in the Champions League against German side Bayer Leverkusen.

Despite going into the game in the bottom half of the Bundesliga the German side gave a very good account of themselves as they weathered early Spurs pressure in the first half to force some fine saves from Hugo Lloris in the second half.

Spurs had to play without Toby Alderweireld and Kyle Walker at the back but held firm and could have scored themselves with the unfortunate Vincent Janssen missing a couple of good chances along with Dele Alli.

A tight but decent game, then, and here are five things we learned...

Spurs go all guns blazing

Whilst Spurs came out of the blocks in pretty swift fashion in this game they soon saw themselves flagging in the second half as Bayer Leverkusen grew into the game. In the future Spurs need to make sure they avoid such an issue against the better European sides or they could end up in serious trouble.

 A new striker is needed... again

Vincent Janssen just didn't have the luck with him, again. The Dutch striker tried as hard as he always has this season but saw a goal chalked off for offside before he hit the cross-bar with a header from close-range.

It's those kind of things you need to go for you when you're in a rut like Janssen in but Spurs can't really afford to wait much longer for him.

 Decent squad depth on show

We knew Toby Alderweireld would be injured for this one but Eric Dier fitted in seamlessly at the back as Spurs had to shuffle their pack around the missing Belgian.

Also, at right back, Kieran Trippier came in for the usual Kyle Walker and performed well in helping Spurs keep a clean sheet. It really made no difference that Spurs did not have their usual defence tonight.

 Hugo Lloris is one of the best

The Frenchman was in fine form in this game making a string of crucial saves in the second half. The pick of the bunch has to be the one from Javier Hernandez as he scrambled across his line to keep out a certain goal.

The goal-line technology showed how close it was but ultimately it wasn't close enough for Leverkusen thanks to the Frenchman.

 Spurs well at home at this level

Ultimately, the result is all that matters and Spurs once again showed that they are more than capable of mixing it with more experienced European sides. Although they rode their luck at times the Lilywhites were never under massive pressure and also had chances to win the game themselves. The point leaves them still second in the group after CSKA and Monaco drew too.
