Sporting vs Tottenham LIVE: Champions League result and final score as Spurs stunned by two late goals

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions with nine wins and four draws. They are third in the Premier League table this term, just one point behind league leaders Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison enjoyed “one of the best days of my life” after his match-winning heroics against Marseille on Wednesday night.

The Brazilian, who arrived from Everton in a £60million summer move, opened his Spurs account with two goals in five second-half minutes to give his new club a 2-0 win against the Ligue 1 side on their Champions League return.

He was in tears after the game as he embraced his father in the stands and the 25-year-old reflected on a dream night.

Sporting boss, Rúben Amorim, makes just one change to the team that lined-up against Eintracht Frankfurt in their first Champions League fixture of the season. Nuno Santos comes in to replace Jeremiah St. Juste.

There is also just one change for Antonio Conte’s Tottenham. Clement Lenglet drops out with Ben Davies slotting back into the back line.

Sporting XI: Adan, Nuno Santos, Coates, Inacio, Porro, Ugarte, Morita, Matheus Reis, Trincao, Goncalves, Edwards

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son

Tottenham have arrived at the Estadio Jose Alvalade ahead of the 5.45pm kick off against Sporting CP.

Sporting CP coach Ruben Amorim believes that Spurs are the ‘clear favourites’ to win Group D and make it to the knockout rounds saying:

"Tottenham are the clear favourites in the group. They are a team that have one of the best attacks in the world with a winning coach in Italy and England and world-class players.

"They are strong in transitions, have a lot of quality on set-pieces. We will have to be wary because they will punish us for the slightest mistake.

"We have to be prepared for Tottenham’s transitions. Sometimes it’s difficult because speed is speed, and it’s about the timing of the pass. They can be on the edge of their own box and then seconds later at the other end of the pitch."

Enfield-born Marcus Edwards is a Tottenham academy graduate but failed to make a Premier League appearance for Spurs before joining Vítoria de Guimarães in 2019.

He moved to Sporting in January 2022 after registering 20 goals in 96 outings for Vítoria.

Antonio Conte says that having last weekend’s Premier League fixtures postponed has given him a short term boost making it easier to choose his starting XI for this evening’s Champions League tie against Sporting CP.

Lucas Moura is Tottenham’s only injury doubt for the match, which follows the postponement of their trip to Manchester City.

"Not having played on Saturday changes the situation," said the Spurs boss. "When you play every three days, you run the risk of having more injuries and less energy,

"I’m more relaxed when it comes to choosing my starting 11. The postponement of the game against City has allowed me to change the idea of the team I had in mind for the game."

Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte has revealed he visited Buckingham Palace on Friday to pay his own respects to the Queen but is pleased the majority of football will now go ahead this week.

The death of Her Majesty on Thursday saw all of last weekend’s domestic football fixtures cancelled, including Spurs’ trip to Manchester City, but European ties over the coming days will be played and seven of the Premier League’s scheduled matches for Saturday and Sunday will take place.

Tottenham host Leicester at the weekend but first take on Sporting Lisbon in their second Champions League game of the season looking to move top of Group D.

Antonio Conte’s side are the favourites with the bookmakers to come away from this meeting with the victory. Spurs have not played since their 2-0 win over Marseille but have looked in goot touch this term and will be hoping to move to the top of Group D with a win tonight.

Here are the latest odds:

Sporting to win 3/1

Draw 45/17

Tottenham to win 13/12
