Tottenham prepare to face Sporting Lisbon as both look to maintain winning starts

Tottenham Hotspur were stunned by two late Sporting Lisbon goals in the Champions League as Antonio Conte’s side fell to their first defeat of the season.

Spurs were holding on for a point in Lisbon when Paulinho rose to meet a corner in the 89th minute. It was followed moments later by a wonderful solo goal from Arthur as the Premier League side fell apart.

Tottenham had failed to test the Sporting goalkeeper Antonio Adan throughout the match. Richarlison had a goal disallowed for offside while after the break Ivan Perisic flashed a dangerous ball across the face before Richarlison headed substitute Dejan Kulusevski’s delivery wide.

Hugo Lloris made a fingertip save just moments before Sporting took the lead, while Marcus Edwards almost scored against his former club after a brilliant run through the defence shortly before half time.

The result leaves Sporting on top of Group D with six points while Tottenham remain on three points following their opening win over Marseille. Coverage tonight continues with Bayern Munich vs Barcelona

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

27 mins: Close! Raphinha brings the ball inside and passes it to Lewandowski on the edge of the box. The striker gives it back to Raphinha who whips his foot over the ball and drives it just wide of the right-hand post.

Manuel Neuer was rooted to the spot, a few inches further left and that was a goal.

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

24 mins: Bayern are forced into an early change as Benjamin Pavard picks up an injury. In his place comes Noussair Mazraoui. He’ll be called into action immediately as Barcelona are starting to boss the game and control possession.

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

21 mins: Robert Lewandowski vs Manuel Neuer is a brilliant battle. Marcos Alonso is fed the ball out wide by Sergio Busquets and he carries it down the line before hanging a cross over to the afr post. Lewandowski leaps to meet it and fizzes his header straight at Neuer who denies him!

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

18 mins: Gavi has a go from well outside the Bayern penalty area but blasts his effort well over the crossbar and jobs away with a disappointed look on his face.

Chance! This one is a better opportunity. Ousmane Dembele drives through the middle of the pitch before working the ball out to the left. The cross is drilled low into the box to Lewandowski who flicks it up and volleys the ball over the crossbar.

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

15 mins: Chance! Manuel Neuer is too casual with the ball and gifts it to his old team mate Robert Lewandowski, Lewandowski dribbles into the box but Upamecano shoulders him off the ball and wins it back for Bayern.

Fantastic defending from the centre-back.

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

12 mins: Marcos Alonso sends an outswinging cross into the Bayern box but Dayot Upamecano rises highest and nods the ball up for his goalkeeper to claim.

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

9 mins: Save! It’s Barcelona’s time to attack now as they kick a counter into gear. Robert Lewandowski brings the ball forward and attempts to play in Raphinha but his underhit pass it intercepted. The striker lunges into a tackle and recovers the ball before working it over to Pedri who drills a low shot at goal and forces a low save out of Manuel Neuer.

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

6 mins: Nearly! Marcos Alonso scrambles the ball away for Barcelona after Bayern win it high up the pitch once again. Thomas Muller slides the ball into the feet of Jamal Musiala who weaves into the box and looks for Sadio Mane who’s drifted into space.

His last touch rolls the ball too far away from him and he can’t find the pass with Alonso coming across to clear the danger.

Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

3 mins: Ronald Araujo holds on to the ball too long just outside his own box and Sadio Mane comes across to nick it off him. He leaves it to Jamal Musiala who carries it inside the penalty area before sending it over to the right where Leroy Sane overruns the pass.

Kick off: Bayern 0-0 Barcelona

Kick off: Barcelona get the match started and work the ball out to the left wide of the pitch where they win a throw in. It gets taken quickly and the Spanish side work the ball over to Raphinha on the right side of the pitch.

The tempo that Barca have started with is rapid, let’s see if they can keep it up.
