Tottenham lose to Sporting Lisbon after late goals

Tottenham conceded two injury-time goals as they slumped to a Champions League defeat against Sporting Lisbon.

Spurs had a number of good chances but could not take them and looked on course to earn a point in Portugal.

However, in the 91st minute Paulinho headed in from Pedro Goncalves’ left-wing corner to put the hosts ahead.

It got better for Sporting as another substitute, Arthur Gomes, hit a fine, low strike to make it 2-0 and hand Spurs their first loss of the season.

Sporting are top of Group D on six points after two victories, with Spurs second on three points, while Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt play each other later on Tuesday.

Frustrated Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, who has lost nine of his 19 Champions League away games as a manager, said: “Difficult result and when you lose the game you’re not happy.

“We could’ve scored, and we tried to win the game, then in the last 10 minutes we can do much better.

“It’s a pity but it was a difficult game. We tried to get a win but in the end we lost the game.

“We had two or three situations that we can do much better in but now we have to rest and think about the next game in the Premier League.”
