20:27 , Luke Baker

It’s Spurs’s flip to counter as Jefte offers the ball away with a unfastened go they usually come down the left earlier than Son lofts a crossfield go in direction of Johnson within the field.

20:25 , Luke Baker

Pretty transfer from Rangers down the appropriate, Cerny feeds Bajrami and his cutback making an attempt to return the favour is juuuust lower out by Bentancur.

Rangers 0-0 Tottenham, 9 minutes

20:11 , Luke Baker

A spring within the Rangers step early on, as you may count on in entrance of their very own followers. Dragusin once more examined as he’s compelled to stretch to clear. Spurs may actually do with getting their foot on the ball and having a sustained spell of possession.

They do create an opportunity for Werner because the ball breaks to him on the left aspect of the field however his curled effort is properly over the bar. Sadly, Werner’s taking pictures boots abandoned him way back – there wasn’t a lot conviction in that shot.

20:08 , Luke Baker

Extra encouragement for Rangers down the left as Butland’s lengthy ball excessive offers Igamane one thing to chase and he will get forward of the Spurs defence earlier than Dragusin scrambles again to dam his shot.
