Ed Aarons has filed his report from White Hart Lane, and right here it’s:
Hope shouldn’t be misplaced for Ange Postecoglou. On one other night time, the Tottenham supervisor might need been celebrating a marvel objective from the excellent Lucas Bergvall as his facet regarded ahead to subsequent week’s second leg in Germany with a wholesome benefit.
However it’s a reflection of how issues have been going for Postecoglou that someway Spurs didn’t handle to win this sport after conceding an early objective to Hugo Ekitiké. Regardless of Bergvall’s finest efforts because the 19-year-old lined each blade of grass for the trigger in a efficiency that belied his age, they might not construct on Pedro Porro’s well-taken equaliser as Eintracht Frankfurt held on for a draw that may in all probability make them favourites to progress to the semi-finals.
Rather more right here:
Ange Postecoglou has a chat. It’s fairly a optimistic one, which is a pleasant change.
I can’t ask any extra of the lads. It was disappointing to concede the best way we did however after that I assumed we had been properly answerable for the sport. I assumed the efficiency was first fee. The objective was the stuff we’ve labored on, getting folks in these areas, throughout the entrance of their defence. I had a sense they wouldn’t be too expansive immediately, I assumed they’d play pretty conservatively. The most important blow we had was conceding so early, as a result of that performed into their palms.
On some other night time you’d go away with a snug victory. If we repeat that efficiency I undoubtedly suppose we give ourselves an opportunity. I don’t anticipate the second sport might be too open both. It’ll come all the way down to moments. I simply suppose if we get these moments subsequent week one among them will fall for us and we’ll get what we want. The second leg’s going to be tight for positive.
Kulusevski, he says, is “contact and go” for the second leg – no likelihood of beginning, however “a risk of being concerned”.
It’s throughout in Lyon and Manchester United, having scored with the final kick of the primary half, have conceded with the final kick of the second. It finishes 2-2 there. In Glasgow it’s nonetheless 0-0 between 10-man Rangers and Athletic Bilbao, now within the thirteenth minute of stoppage time.
Manchester United have simply taken the lead in Lyon, Joshua Zirkzee within the 88th minute.
