Rejuvenated Tottenham got their Uefa Cup campaign back on track as Darren Bent grabbed a clinical hat-trick against a hapless Dinamo Zagreb.

Bent blasted home in the 29th minute before calmly slotting in after Tom Huddlestone’s pass three minutes later.

Huddlestone then fired in a sweet long-range volley from David Bentley’s accurate corner in the 58th minute.

Confident Bent crashed in his third after 69 minutes before 16-year-old John Bostock came on to make his debut.

By doing so, Bostock became Spurs’ youngest player in a competitive game.

Tottenham’s previous Uefa Cup match was a woeful 2-0 defeat at Udinese two weeks ago, which sparked the dismissal of former manager Juande Ramos.
