Tottenham have lost 2-1 against Inter Milan in their opening Champions League Group B match.
Spurs were unable to respond and suffered a third straight defeat for the first time under Pochettino.

17 minutes
Erik Lamela again does well to win Spurs' first corner.
Knocked short by the Argentinian to Christian Eriksen, but the opportunity fizzles out after a poor cross from the Dane.
18 minutes
Ooh, that didn't look nice.
Ben Davies is unaware of Radja Nainggolan looming behind him and lunges at the ball, only managing to catch the Belgian midfielder shin-high with his toe, entirely accidentally.
Solely a free-kick given. A fair call.
20 minutes
Milan Skriniar looks worried by Heung Min-Son's pace. The South Korean knocks it past him and is cut down, with the makeshift right-back earning the first booking of the night.
Free-kick in a good area for Spurs. Eriksen will whip it in.
21 minutes
A loopy flick-on falls into Samir Handanovic's hands. No real chances so far for either side.
24 minutes
Davinson Sanchez is a prolific slide-tackler and he unfurls a picture-perfect example to prevent Matias Vecino progressing any further.
26 minutes
The first moment of real discomfort for the Tottenham defence. Michel Vorm is forced into a diving palm after Davinson Sanchez somewhat precariously gets his head on a ball-in.
28 minutes
Christian Eriksen drifts into a pocket of space between the lines, and finds Eric Dier.
Dier's ambitious ball in is unthreatening but is rather unaesthetically spooned behind for a corner.
The whistle blows after some Spurs pulling and pushing.
29 minutes
Marcelo Brozovic continues to look for the lofted pass over-the-top, and Matteo Politano is narrowly offside from his latest clip forward. Ben Davies was nearly caught out.
