Former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno included Joe Hart, Eric Dier, Harry Winks, Lucas Moura, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn in the team that begun the game.

Scarlett latched on to a through ball from Moura to give Spurs the lead on 38 minutes, the 17-year-old striker taking an early opportunity to impress his new manager.

Hart was replaced in goal by Alfie Whiteman at half-time and on 64 minutes, Nuno substituted all outfield players, replacing them with a young line-up.

Orient got back on level terms and earned the draw through Ruel Sotiriou in the 72nd minute following an individual run and finish.
