One supporter jumped in a traditional red phone box for a snap as his friend took the picture
Mark van Bommel’s side earned a 2-2 draw with the Premier League side on match day three after Luuk de Jong netted an 87th minute equaliser to leave Spurs’ hopes of progression in tatters.
That result will have given those PSV fans who have travelled to the English capital a lot of hope as they drank in the early hours of Tuesday evening.
They all seemed to be in good spirits as hundreds of supporters made themselves at home outside one of the many pubs in the busy tourist area of the city.
A number of fans also posed for photos together while one jumped in a traditional red phone box for a snap and another cradled a box full of bottles of beer.

The Dutch champions are unbeaten in domestic competition this season but face a tough task
The Dutch champions are unbeaten in domestic competition this season, with their only two defeats coming against Group B rivals Barcelona and Inter Milan.
PSV come into the game on the back of a 1-0 Eredivise victory over Vitesse on Saturday, which was their 11th consecutive win and put them five points clear of second-place Ajax.
Only a win will keep alive Tottenham’s slim hopes of qualifying from Champions League Group B, while a defeat could leave Mauricio Pochettino’s side heading for a fourth-place finish and complete elimination from Europe this season.
With Champions League progress unlikely and Spurs relying on other results to help them reach the knockout phase, thousands of tickets remain unsold for the match, which will kick off at 8pm.
