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
