Laborde drags just wide after the ball was set back to him on the edge of the box. Gollini was stranded.

Tottenham make me eat my words. Seconds after I say they are creating nothing, Doherty swings in a cross, it pops up and Hojbjerg finishes well.

3 years ago

The home side look the most likely to score the next goal. Spurs, once again, struggling to create anything at all.

Ndombele sets Bryan Gil away down the left, but the young Spaniard can only find the gloves of the keeper.

3 years ago

61' - Ndombele Working Hard

Ndombele not only looks like the one bright spark for Spurs going forward, but also doing plenty of running and defensive work too. Tracked all the way back to win a goal kick just now.

Moura is back to his feet and hobbling. A shake of the head here and there implies he is still struggling with the pain but he is playing again.

3 years ago

48' - Moura Injury

Lucas Moura gets his ankle trapped between opponent and turf in a challenge. He is down in a lot of pain at the moment.

Half-Time Reactions

3 years ago

Half-Time! 1-1

The crowd is bouncing here and the Rennes XI are feeding off that energy with the attacks continuing to come.

3 years ago

3 years ago

17' - Ndombele Down In The Box

Harry Kane finds Ndombele in the box with a beautifully weighted long pass, but the Frenchman takes a tumble under pressure from the defender. Nothing given and Tanguy doesn't appeal either.

After a disagreement at the top end of the pitch, Bergwijn and Rennes skipper Traore end up foreheard to forehead. No bookings issued.

3 years ago

Doherty beaten too easily at right-back, but the Rennes cross that was flashed across the nearpost is cleared by Tottenham.

3 years ago

11' - GOAL TOTTENHAM

A ridiculous backheel from Ndombele keeps the ball in play, with Skipp laying it to Harry Kane who plays Moura in behind. Lucas' cut back deflects off the defender and trickles past the keeper. Own goal.

3 years ago

Tanguy Ndombele is seeing plenty of the ball, with that trademark close control, holding off the Rennes players and carving space. The final bass isn't there quite yet.
