10:38 pm
son hyun min with the goal after just 12 minutes. so a decent start for mauricio pochettinos side. that lead though, didn't last. joshua kimmich equalising just three minutes later. and spurs were behind before the break, who else but robert lewandowski with the first of two goals for him. and then serge gnabry, remember he is a former arsenal player, he scored four times in the second half as spurs were totally outclassed and outplayed. harry kane had pulled one back for tottenham but it didn't count for much on a really difficult night for spurs. over in group c, manchester city were in action at the etihad. they were taking on dynamo zagreb. a match where you probably would have expected them to get a result, such is the form they've been in recently but they were really made to fight for it. 2—nil it finished. in fact it was well into the second half before they finally broke the deadlock. substitute raheem sterling
