Tottenham Hotspur entertained Qarabag at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win in the UEFA Europa League. Spurs made a slow start to the game and found themselves a man down in the seventh minute when Radu Dragusin was sent off by the referee. However, Brennan Johnson gave Tottenham the lead just five minutes later. Ange Postecoglu’s men controlled the game well and managed to get to the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Pape Matar Sarr doubled his team’s advantage in the 52nd minute before Dominic Solanke killed the game off in the 68th minute. The contest ended with Tottenham earning an impressive 3-0 win in front of their home fans.
