Tottenham 3-2 Atletico Madrid

Brief hope for Spurs as they see a penalty appeal waved away before winning a corner, but it’s eventually cleared and Spence does well to track back and prevent a clean break on the counter.

CLOSE! What a chance and what a block! Spurs create chaos in the area and it rolls to Kolo Muani. He looks certain to score but his effort is blocked in front of Musso!

‘Deja vu from Madrid’

Here’s Will Castle inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

“Tottenham have been pegged back again and after such an encouraging display, Spurs are falling into old habits. Djed Spence nearly just gave away a third, right from the restart, after being hounded by Julian Alvarez. Deja vu from eight days ago.”
