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.

Re-live all the action below:

58 minutes

This one has really opened up. Ben Davies gets to the byline.

Another Spurs corner as they press for a swift second.

59 minutes

Headed to Heung Min-Son 30 yards out, a very ambitious volley easily claimed by Handanovic.

61 minutes

A foul by Eric Dier in midfield offers Inter an opportunity to put the ball in the box.

Hacked away for a corner, which is dealt with well.

The ball is in the net again, but the whistle had long been blown for offside when Son slotted home.

It is a good chance for Erik Lamela prior, though, after a powerful run from Serge Aurier. Handanovic saves well and Kane is offside on the follow-up.

63 minutes

First changes for both sides, with both opting to swap their wingers. Heung Min-Son is withdrawn and Lucas Moura enters the fray from a Tottenham point of view, while Antonio Candreva somewhat surprisingly replaces Ivan Perisic.

66 minutes

Both sides giving the ball away at will as things have become a little frenzied and frantic.

Spurs still have that 1-0 lead.

Not a bad chance, that. Lucas Moura gets into the box and the ball is inadvertently tackled into Erik Lamela's feet, but Handanovic is alive to the situation and closes the gap to block his effort into the air and welcome it into his grasp.

70 minutes

Erik Lamela is being afforded all kinds of space as Inter press for an equaliser. The Italians are struggling to win the ball back.

71 minutes

Lucas Moura is causing havoc - Inter Milan can't get near the substitute but Erik Lamela wastes another opportunity to score a second.

Lamela is then removed, with Harry Winks brought on to add a body in midfield. Balde Diao Keita comes on for Matteo Politano for the hosts.

73 minutes

A tame way for that attack to finish. Antonio Candreva gets himself in a tangle on the left-hand side and runs the ball out for a goal-kick, disappointing several teammates awaiting a ball in to the box.

Spurs look rather comfortable.
