Tottenham Hotspur faced off against Sporting CP at the Jose Alvalade Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to earn a positive result on the road. Spurs were solid in the first half and were held to a scoreless draw at half-time.
Sporting grew stronger as the game grew old and managed to get themselves ahead in the 90th minute via Paulinho’s header before Arthur made it 2-0 in injury time. Spurs ended up suffering a poor 2-0 loss away from home in the UEFA Champions League.
