| Time | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Pre-Match | Tonight’s head referee is John Brooks. He’s in charge for the 14th time this season in all competitions. The last game he officiated was in the UEFA Europa League as Malmo drew 2-2 with Galatasaray. Referee Brooks leads the players out onto the turf at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Postecoglou and Amorim share something of a warm, jovial embrace. The players shake hands before their respective huddles. The captains then meet, and after the coin toss, it seems that the visitors will get us started tonight. |

- GOOAAALLL! TOTTENHAM TAKE THE LEAD WITH SOLANKE! 1-0! Maddison works a free-kick on the left short to Son, before the South Korean plays it back across. It’s initially played to Porro for a speculative shot. However, after a nick, Bayindir parries and Solanke is on his toes to fire the rebound in off the base of the right post! That’s Solanke’s first goal in the competition this season.
