Tottenham Hotspur produced one of their best performances of the 2025/26 campaign on Tuesday night when they smashed Copenhagen 4-0 in the Champions League.
Thomas Frank's side strolled to a comfortable victory in North London, despite Brennan Johnson's second-half red card, and could have had a fifth when Richarlison missed a penalty late on.
The pick of the goals on the night was, undoubtably, the unbelievable solo run from central defender Micky van de Ven, which will
surely be in contention for the Goal of the Season award next year.
In terms of performances, Dutch attacking midfielder Xavi Simons will be pleased with his personal contribution after an impressive outing.
How Xavi Simons may have kickstarted his season
The £52m summer signing from RB Leipzig ended a run of 11 matches without a goal contribution in all competitions for Spurs with his assist for Johnson's opening goal.
Xavi played a brilliant pass through to the Wales international, which allowed him to slot into an empty net after rounding the goalkeeper, and that was his second assist of the season.
The Netherlands international created three 'big chances' for the team in total, per Sofascore, and was the first Spurs player to create three chances in a Champions League half since the 2016/17 campaign.
Xavi, now, needs to use this impressive performance as a platform to kick on and provide consistency on a regular basis for the Lilywhites.
The Dutchman was not the only star player who could use Tuesday night's match as a platform, though, as Wilson Odobert had his best night for the club.
Why Copenhagen was Wilson Odobert's best performance for Spurs
Since his move to Spurs from Burnley in the summer of 2024, Odobert has only managed two goals and no assists in the Premier League and the Champions League, with the second of those two goals coming against Copenhagen.
The French winger, who earned the same player rating (8/10) as Xavi from GOAL, remained incredibly composed to finish his chance, as shown in the clip above, when it would have been easy to snatch at it or try to smash it towards goal.
On top of scoring, the former Burnley man also completed three dribbles and created one chance, per Sofascore, which speaks to how direct and effective he was with the ball at his feet.
The Athletic's Jay Harris suggested it was his "best performance in a Spurs shirt", and that is hard to argue with, when compared to the only other game in the Premier League or Champions League that he has contributed to a goal in.
As you can see in the table above, Odobert was better in duels, as a dribbler, as a creator, and as a passer against Copenhagen than he was against West Ham when he scored his first league goal for the club.
These statistics suggest that the French sensation, who was as effective as Xavi on Tuesday night, did play his best match for the Lilywhites against the Danish outfit.
Like the Dutchman, Odobert should look to use this performance as a platform to build from for the rest of the season to kick on and become a star for Tottenham.
