RB Leipzig Beat Tottenham In Champions League Last 16 First Leg.
RB Leipzig’s German striker Timo Werner celebrates scoring the opening goal from the penalty spot during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first Leg football match between Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London, on February 19, 2020.Tottenham need another Champions League escape act to reach the quarter-finals after Timo Werner’s penalty earned RB Leipzig a deserved 1-0 last 16, first-leg win in London.
Tottenham upset the odds to progress past Manchester City and Ajax in the knockout stages last season but were lacking in ideas and energy compared to the Bundesliga contenders.After receiving the news that Son could be sidelined for the rest of the season by a fractured right arm on the eve of the game, Mourinho compared his side’s prospects for the rest of the season to hanging from a fourth-floor building by the balcony.
Lloris then had to be alert again to deny Werner adding to his 25 goals this season from close range.The Dutch international has enjoyed an impressive start to his Tottenham career and forced Peter Gulacsi into a smart save low to his left. Werner then wasted the best chance of the first half when he fired too close to Lloris with just the French number one to beat.
An ill-timed lunge from Ben Davies chopped down Konrad Laimer inside the area and Werner confidently converted the resulting penalty.
