Jose Mourinho described his Spurs side as a ‘gun without bullets’ and that’s a fair assessment of our latest Champions League night. A 0-1 reverse at the hands of RB Leipzig is looking ominous...
Spurs manager Jose Mourinho said after the game that Aston Villa didn’t deserve to lose but equally, Tottenham had enough chances to kill it off long before Son Heung-Min’s stoppage time clincher. The two...
It was hard work for much of the game and it was a tie that Southampton will feel they should have won but – they didn’t. Tottenham conceded possession stats and gave the Saints...

In the context of Tottenham’s 2019/20 Champions League group campaign, Wednesday night’s 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich mattered little but it would have been rewarding to see a more positive result. Manager Jose Mourinho...
