Full time: Tottenham 3-0 Qarabag

A very good night for Spurs in the end. It looked like it could go very wrong when Dragusin was sent off early on but they have come through it thanks to goals from Johnson, Sarr and Solanke. Qarabag looked dangerous but could never find a finish.

Addai has a chance in the box but he fails to to much contact and Vicario drops on it.

The resulting corner makes it way out to Jafarguliyev on the edge of the box. He pings the shot towards the top corner but Vicario does superbly well to tip over.

GOAL! Son shoots from the edge of the box, forcing Kochalski down to his left but he palms it straight to Solanke, giving him an easy task.

The striker reacts quickest to tap home a rebound.

Vicario comes to catch a cross and runs into Juninho. It is getting a little spicy out there.

Spurs go down the other end and Solanke has a chance but sends his shot straight at the goalkeeper.

PENALTY! Qarabag are awarded a spot kick after Bissouma takes down Jafarguliyev inside the box. It is soft but is probably a pen. The midfielder also gets a booking.

GOAL! The goalkeeper flaps at the cross and Sarr is left in space, he takes aim and, via a deflection, doubles the lead. A big moment in the match.

Kulusevski whips in a corner that reaches Sarr at the back post from where he volleys home.

Down the other end Jafarguliyev pings in another dangerous, low cross but Vicario takes hold.

Second half

Here we go again!

Johnson off for Spurs, Kulusevski on.

“I can’t believe what I’ve seen tonight,” says Shaun Tooze. “I watched about 90% of the Rangers game in Malmo before this one and Ranger could, or rather should have had 5. This first half here has carried on the same way. How Qarabag haven’t got on the scoresheet here is beyond belief.

“The night of missed golden chances. Absolutely unfathomable.

“Anyway, sorry, just mind blown.”

Some football has already been completed.

Half time: Tottenham 1-0 Qarabag

Spurs are down to 10 men but have the advantage thanks to Johnson. Qarabag have enjoyed the better of the match thanks to Dragusin’s being very silly and getting himself sent off.

I suspect we will get Pedro Porro on for Gray at half time.

Gray is cleaned out on the right wing. Advantage is played until Jafarguliyev is booked for the foul.

krishnamoorthy says: “Your mention of Johnson Solanke and Son sounds like a law firm who appears capable of engineering the names in all small letters on their shirts .”

GOAL! Spurs win the ball back high up, Solanke slips a pass through to Johnson who finds the bottom corner.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Qarabag (Johnson, 12)

Three in three for the winger.

Udogie replaces Bergvall. Such a shame for the teenager but needs must. Silly Dragusin.

RED CARD! Dragusin
