A difficult night in Milan for Tottenham...
Antonio Conte’s side were far from their best as they were unable to recover from Brahim Diaz’s early opener for AC Milan.
They have history of Champions League comebacks, with their run to the 2019 final littered with late twists, though this current crop seem a million miles away from that side under Mauricio Pochettino. And the hosts were quick to give their adoring faithful a present as they went ahead with less than seven minutes on the clock.
They did began to get a foothold in the game and had numerous opportunities to test the Milan defence from set-pieces, but a host of corners and free-kicks were wasted by poor deliveries or defended well by the hosts. There were some problems at the other end as Romero was booked for a reckless tackle on Sandro Tonali while Eric Dier picked up a yellow card which will see him suspended for the second leg.
