Tottenham gave a run-out to new signing Kyle Naughton in their 3-1 defeat at Aldershot.
First-team goalkeeper Huerelho Gomes and right-back Alan Hutton were also included but could not prevent Danny Hylton giving the hosts a third-minute lead.
Ben Alnwick replaced Gomes at half-time and Naughton also came on and it was the defender, signed from Sheffield United earlier in the day, who provided the 74th-minute cross from which Danny Rose headed in.
However, in the last eight minutes Reece Connolly and Adam Hinshelwood added late goals to secure victory for the hosts.
