Spurs also suffered a shoot-out defeat against LaLiga champions  Barcelona last week, but a starting line-up still without England stars  Harry Kane and Dele Alli posed little threat to Milan's defence in the  first half.The Serie A side pressed as Cutrone's header from  Suso's cross forced Michel Vorm into a fine save, before the former  nodded beyond the post with another effort.Donnarumma and new  signing Alen Halilovic were introduced at the break for Milan, but it  was Spurs who took the lead when N'Koudou drove towards the Rossoneri  goal before rifling brilliantly into the roof of the net.Tottenham,  too, made a goalkeeping change at half-time when Paulo Gazzaniga was  introduced for Vorm, and the Argentinean was quickly called into action  to save from Kessie, before Hakan Calhanoglu's free-kick drifted just  wide.Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-Min were among the names  introduced as Spurs aimed to hold onto their lead, but N'Koudou  continued to look their biggest threat, as he raced through on goal but  was denied by Donnarumma.Milan nearly levelled the scores when  Jose Mauri fired wide from the edge of the area in stoppage time, but  Spurs held on to win their second ICC match against Serie A opposition,  having routed Roma 4-1.</blockquote>
