Motherwell took on Spurs in London as they stepped up their preparations ahead of their cinch Premiership return in eight days time.
The hosts ran out 4-0 winners with goals coming from Dejan Kulusevski, Bryan Gil and a brace from Matt Doherty.
Steven Hammell named a strong starting eleven however made life difficult for themselves and found themselves one down after just three minutes.
A stray back pass from Stephen O’Donnell found Kulusevski who made no mistake and finished past Liam Kelly.
Connor Shields was unfortunate not to level the game when the Tottenham goalkeeper Brandon Austin saw his clearance blocked by the forward and the ball ricochet inches wide of the post.
Four minutes later however, it was 2-0. A move from back to front from Spurs ended with Docherty in space at the back post, he cut inside onto his right foot and finished past Liam Kelly.
Our skipper was called into action moments later when Gil’s effort was well saved by our number one.
It was a third for the hosts just before half time, when Gil had a tap in after good work from Kulusevski.
During the second period, Hammell made changes throughout the half which saw plenty Motherwell youth players get game time.
Despite pushing for a goal themselves, Docherty got his second of the game from a corner on 71 minutes to make it 4-0.
Sean Goss went close from a deflected free kick which went narrowly wide for a corner.
Ross Tierney was next to try his luck after good work from winger Josh Morris, who set the Irishman up but he couldn’t find the back of the net from inside the box.
