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:

When is it?

The game kicks off at 5.55pm on Tuesday 18 September.

Where can I watch it?

BT Sport 3 will be providing live coverage which gets underway at 5.15pm.

THE WHISTLE BLOWS, AND THAT IS THAT! Inter Milan have condemned Mauricio Pochettino to a third consecutive defeat (for the first time in his Tottenham tenure), Mauro Icardi's spectacular volley and Matias Vecino's stoppage time header giving Inter the victory.

Wow! Inter Milan were awful throughout the game, even after going a goal behind, but they have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and Spurs' troubles deepen. They should never have lost that game.

Such is the nature of these staggered kick-off times that we have little time to react to that result, for the next set of fixtures begin in less than ten minutes. 

However, stay tuned to The Independent for all the fallout from Spurs' defeat, particularly from Jonathan Liew and Jack Pitt-Brooke in the San Siro.
