Despite their absentees, the English side took the lead on 13 minutes through a beautiful Lucas Moura free kick, which found the net against the run of play.
However, nine minutes later the La Liga side were level.
Juanpe headed home the equaliser after a free-kick rebounded off the post. His side were ahead before half time as a low cross from the right was slotted into the Tottenham net by Anthony Lozano.
