Spurs defeat Eintracht Frankfurt with 10 men and move to the top of Group D of the Champions League thanks to two goals from Son Heung-min.
Daichi Kamada was set up to score from close range after Eric Dier lost possession, giving Frankfurt the early advantage. However, Harry Kane set up Son to score the equalizer six minutes later.
Before halftime, Son’s thunderous volley and England captain Kane’s penalty goal made it 3-1.

Faride Alidou’s header made it 3-2 with three minutes left, giving Spurs cause for concern. Frankfurt’s Tuta received a second caution for bringing down Son early in the second half.
Tottenham held on for a well-earned victory despite Kane missing a second penalty in stoppage time.
Tottenham occasionally played at their peak, and they had a chance to win by more, but careless errors allowed Frankfurt to stay in the game.
Hugo Lloris had to tip over a shot by Jesper Lindstrom, and there was some desperate defending as Frankfurt had chances late on. The visitors generally struggled to handle Spurs’ attack.
Son, Ryan Sessegnon, Richarlison, and Cristian Romero were a few of Antonio Conte’s hosts who came close to scoring.
Although it was a tense finish, Tottenham now leads the group with two victories from four games, while Frankfurt drops to the bottom of the standings with four points.
On October 26, Tottenham will play host to Sporting Lisbon.
