Last season's finalists face huge task to turn tie around after 1-0 home defeat. FMTNews TimoWerner RBLeipzig TottenhamHotspur UCL
LONDON: Tottenham need another Champions League escape act to reach the quarterfinals after Timo Werner’s penalty earned RB Leipzig a deserved 1-0 last 16, first leg win in London.
Tottenham upset the odds to progress past Manchester City and Ajax in the knockout stages last season, but were lacking in ideas and energy compared to the Bundesliga contenders. Patrik Schick flashed a shot wide from the edge of the box before Werner’s effort was blocked and Lloris turned Angelino’s driven shot onto the post.
Lloris was forced into another save by Schick before the towering Czech also headed just wide from a corner. However, after grinding out wins over Manchester City, Norwich, Southampton and Aston Villa in recent weeks despite conceding plenty of chances, Spurs’ luck ran out.
