HALF TIME! Tottenham 1-3 Bayern

Not much has gone right for Spurs after scoring in the first minute.

45′ Maddison shoots from 25 yards out

It was on his left foot, but flew like a rocket and was just a few yards over the angle of post and bar.

44′ GOAL! Tottenham 1-3 Bayern (Muller)

The ball was played to the far post and Muller got free of his man before stooping to head low past Vicario.

43′ Tel brought down on edge of area by Dragusin

Maybe a last chance of the half for Bayern to extend their lead.

42′ Johnson with a dangerous low cross

And Stanisic only just avoids putting into his own net as he diverts the ball behind before Son could tap in at the far post.

40′ Vicario denies Musiala

Tel once again found acres of space on the left flank and the ball was laid back to Musiala on the edge of the box. He turned on his left foot but his effort was parried by the Spurs keeper.

36′ Musiala close to doubling Bayern’s lead

Tel fed him the ball in the left hand side of the area and though his shot did not have great strength it looked for a while like creeping into the far post, but ended up just wide.

31′ GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Bayern (Gnabry)

Spurs could only clear the ball to the edge of the area from where Gnabry drove home.

28′ Son tries an audacious effort form 40 yards

But his effort neither had the aim nor the legs to reach the net.

26′ Kulusevski a yard away from a second

The Swede faced a narrow angle but short firmly and only just wide of the far post.

25′ Gnabry goes down in the box wanting a penalty

It looked like Davies may have taken his leg but no kick was given.

21′ Son breaks and for a time just has the goalkeeper in front of him

But the days are gone when he can run 60 yards without defenders catching him.

16′ GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Bayern (Upamecano)

Tel was found unmarked by a free kick at the back post and though the Spurs keeper parried the effort, Upamecano tapped home the rebound from a yard out.

13′ Gnabry with a chance

It has been so open at both ends. The ball drops to Gnabry at the back post but he sidefoots over the bar.

12′ Maddison plays in Kulusevski

And he tries to find Johnson at the far post but did not put enough pace in his square ball.

10′ Tel is played through in the left hand side of area

He looks to curl inside the far post but he misses the target.

7′ Free kick is taken early…

And the ball is played to Muller at the back post but he cannot get his header on target.

6′ Musiala brought down on the edge of the box

A silly tackle from Ben Davies gives Bayern a chance.

4′ Son wastes opportunity with heavy touch

A diagonal ball cuts through the Bayern defence but Son’s touch is uncharacteristically heavy and the German side can clear.

1′ GOAL! Tottenham (Kulusevski) 1-0 Bayern

An awful error at the back from Bayern sees the ball drop to makeshift centre forward Kulusevski and he makes no mistake volleying home with his left foot from close range.
