Tottenham vs Marseille - LIVE!
Richarlison’s first goals for Tottenham saw them mark their Champions League return with a 2-0 win over 10-man Marseille. The summer signing scored two headers in the space of five second-half minutes to get Spurs out of trouble in their Group D opener.
Playing at the elite level for the first time since 2020, Antonio Conte’s men were labouring against the Ligue 1 side, who had Chancel Mbemba sent off early in the second half as he brought down Heung-min Son just outside the box when the last man.
But Richarlison, making his Champions League debut, opened his account for the club in the 76th minute from Ivan Perisic’s cross and then repeated the trick to kill the game from a Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg delivery. His double ensured Spurs got their campaign off to a winning start in an otherwise largely difficult round of action for British teams. Liverpool and Chelsea were beaten on the road, while Celtic and Rangers also fell to opening defeats.
