Djed Spence cheekily apologised to his teammate Damola Ajayi after posting a hilarious edit of the pair after Doncaster Rovers’ visit to Tottenham.

Spurs hosted the League One club in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, as Thomas Frank’s side look to go one step further than their run to the semi-final last season.

Ajayi is on a season-long loan with Rovers, and was allowed to play for Grant McCann’s team in the clash despite being cup-tied.

Tottenham ran out 3-0 winners in the end, courtesy of goals from Joao Palhinha, an own goal from Jay McGrath and Brennan Johnson’s effort. Spence started, coming up against winger Ajayi – and he made sure everyone knew how he got on against his young teammate.

Djed Spence apologises to Damola Ajayi for welcoming him to his ‘penitentiary’ in Carabao Cup

Taking to Instagram after the game, Spence posted snaps of himself throughout his side’s victory.

The final picture in the dump was a funny edit of him and his teammate, showing him behind bars in a prison cell with a beaming Spence in front of him.

“I’m sorry Lil bro,” he wrote with a laughing face and broken heart emojis. “Welcome to the penitentiary.”

Ajayi clearly found the post funny despite his side’s loss, replying with a photo of Neil Warnock, someone who Spence previously didn’t see eye to eye with at Middlesbrough.

What Thomas Frank said about the victory over Doncaster Rovers

While Spence was clearly buzzing with his side’s performance, Frank also said he was happy with the win, while confessing he had to get the team rotation right.

Antonin Kinsky started in goal for Tottenham, while Mathys Tel and Archie Gray also came into the XI.

He said: “It’s the balance where we need to use the squad, want to use the squad, we’ve a strong squad and players who want and need to play. That’s very important.

“Then we need to make enough changes, but not too many, try to get them in the right positions. That’s the challenge. We all know, as I say all the time, if we’re going to play 60+ games this season, we need to be really good at nailing that – making the right amount of changes per game.”

Frank will have to rotate his squad again as they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
