Tottenham let lead slip away at PSV

Mission almost impossible

Hugo Lloris' red card proved costly as Luuk de Jong's late equaliser denied Tottenham in a 2-2 Champions League draw at PSV Eindhoven.

Hirving Lozano's deflected effort gave PSV the lead after 30 minutes of the Group B clash but Lucas Moura equalised before halftime, and when Harry Kane headed Tottenham in front after 54 minutes the visitors looked in complete control.

A moment of madness saw Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris sent off in the 79th minute, though, and a rejuvenated PSV grabbed a point with De Jong's close-range flick.

The late drama means Spurs, who had lost their opening two matches to Inter Milan and Barcelona, remain third in Group B, with qualification for the knockout stages hanging by a thread with just one point on the board.

Mauricio Pochettino: “We deserved to win but that’s football. We had control and made a lot of opportunities. It’s easy to blame the referee but if we need to blame someone, it’s ourselves. We were much, much better than them but you must kill the game when you are in control. The Champions League is nearly over for us. It will be so difficult to qualify.”
