The match began with a flurry. Gyokeres cut inside Dragusin and dragged a low effort just past the far post after a Saka cross had picked him out, while Vicario had to race from his area to head away a danger and avoid being lobbed.

Mikel Arteta made one change from the collapse at Wolves, bringing in Leandro Trossard for Noni Madueke, and opted to start Eze ahead of Martin Odegaard. That switch ended Bukayo Saka’s brief spell in the middle for now.

Igor Tudor’s Tottenham lineup looked unconventional, with Palhinha named in the middle of a back three. Spurs also face a long injury list — including Udogie, Danso, Bergvall, Ben Davies, Bentancur, Kudus, Maddison, Kulusevski and Porro — a factor that has prompted questions about how the side can be rebuilt and whether the chosen system suits the available players.
