Spurs overhauled north London rivals Arsenal to pinch fourth spot in the 2021-22 Premier League final standings, earning a return to Europe's top table, and ...

They work the ball down the left, Perisic stands up his man and curls a cross into the box, Richarlison unmarked and powers a head past Lopez. Spurs break and have a three on three but Son brings the ball too far, waits too long for the pass and then can’t slip in Perisic. A great cross from the left again, Richarlison gives Gigot a little nudge to put him off balance, outjumps him, arches his neck and powers a header into the net. Great neck strength and a lovely finish. Ex-Leicester man Cengiz Under on for Samuel Gigot Just 4 mins 54 secs after his first, Richarlison has a second goal and it’s another bullet header. Full-time: Job done in the end for Spurs. Son has made a mess of that. Tottenham 2-0 Marseille Tottenham 1-0 Marseille FULL-TIME: Tottenham 2-0 Marseille Pape Gueye for Jordan Veretout.

75 mins to KO: Conte doesn’t have the best of records as a manager in the Champions League. 5 mins to KO: Not long until kick off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They are comfortable on the ball and are pressing high and hard when they are out of possession. 30 mins: Half an hour gone at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the home team have yet to get going. 3 mins: There has been a great deal of anticipation among the Tottenham support ahead of this match. Marseille have dominated possession, but have created little while Tottenham have been off the pace and have also struggled in the attacking third. Tottenham get players forward into the box for the first time in the match, but Kane ignores them all, cuts inside and takes aim, but Tavares makes the block. They have nipped any Spurs momentum in the bud and have taken control of possession again. Can they do more to break through the Tottenham defence, though? Tottenham come forward on the break with Son feeding the ball to Kane inside the Marseille box, but he sends his low shot wide of the far post! They will carry a threat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He has only ever made it as far as the Champions League quarterfinals once.

The Italian coach will be hoping to reap those rewards with a strong showing in the competition, starting on Wednesday. Conte does have 12 options on his bench tonight and we could very well see a few of them if everything goes to plan for the Lilywhites. They've started the new one just as strong, sitting joint-top with PSG having secured five wins and one draw from their opening six fixtures. That in itself does hint at his team for Saturday's trip to Man City as the duo will likely come in for Clement Lenglet and Richarlison. However, they are back under new management, with former Juventus player Igor Tudor having made an unbeaten start to life as the manager. There is no place for Ben Davies and Dejan Kulusevski in the team once again, though, as both are named on the bench. Unbeaten in the Premier League so far this campaign, [Conte's](https://www.football.london/all-about/antonio-conte) men will be hoping to carry on from where they left off against Fulham at the weekend and produce another eye-catching display. However, it won't be straightforward at all with Marseille winning five and drawing one of their first six Ligue 1 games in 2022/23. Antonio Conte was never going to make wholesale changes and his selection highlights how seriously he is taking this evening's game. The Marseille boss has opened up on his old teammate and joked about why his team didn't train at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the eve of the clash. Speaking of the latter, it is a huge game for the Brazilian as his dream of playing in the Champions League comes true. (18+, new customers only, T&C’s)

And welcome to live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur v Marseille in the Champions League. It's Spurs' first game in this competition since March 2020, ...

Conte has never gone beyond the last eight, and in three out of five seasons his teams have failed to get out of the group. Eintracht Frankfurt, Sporting CP and tonight’s opponents Marseille are Spurs' competition for a place in the last 16. Igor Tudor's Marseille are second in Ligue 1, behind PSG only on goal difference; they have also finished as runners-up in two of the last three seasons. They return with a new manager, a bigger squad and greater expectations – if not of winning the thing, then at least of having a decent run. That aside, it was a scruffy attacking performance from the home side. The end of a forgettable first half. That was pretty ambitious, and not in a good way. It was poor judgement from Mbemba, who lunged at the ball even though Son was favourite to get there first. Lovely play from Kulusevski, who gallops round the back of the defence, hugging the ball on his left foot, and pokes a cross that bundled behind for a corner. Marseille wanted a foul for a push on Gigot, but there was nothing in it. A goalkick is given but that definitely came off Balerdi. Spurs fans are really going to enjoy him over the next few years.

They are comfortable on the ball and are pressing high and hard when they are out of possession. 75 mins to KO: Conte doesn’t have the best of records as a manager in the Champions League. Marseille have dominated possession, but have created little while Tottenham have been off the pace and have also struggled in the attacking third. 30 mins: Half an hour gone at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the home team have yet to get going. Son is played in behind, he has the pace to beat his man, he gets to the ball first and is through on goal, but Mbemba brings him down and the referee shows him a straight red card! They have nipped any Spurs momentum in the bud and have taken control of possession again. The cross into the middle found Richarlison unmarked and the Brazilian heads into the back of the net! 75 mins: Marseille are using every trick in the book to wind down the clock here. This time it's Hojbjerg who sends the cross into the middle and the Brazilian glances home a header off the inside of the post. 87 mins: Son is still waiting for that first goal of the season and he looked low on confidence this evening. 90+2 mins: In a sense, this result is tough on Marseille who dominated large periods of the first half. Son is still waiting for his first goal of the season and his performance in this match didn't offer many hints that it is coming any time soon.

Tottenham Hotspur returns to the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2019-20 season when it hosts Marseille on Wednesday.

This will be Tottenham’s first UCL match since bowing out to RB Leipzig in the 2019-20 tournament. The pattern of allowing inferior teams to hang around too closely for too long, only to (usually) eek out the right result in the end, will eventually come back to bite them. On one hand, Spurs have done exactly that this season (0.92 xG against per game, 3rd-lowest in the Premier League). Still, Tottenham needed another 29 minutes, but the patience and self-belief which Antonio Conte has instilled in his side is paying dividends. [September 7, 2022] The Brazilian, making his own Champions League debut from the start on Wednesday, was yet to score a goal since moving to Tottenham for $73 million this summer, though he had positively impacted the side in every other conceivable way.

Tottenham vs Marseille recap: Spurs left it late before Richarlison scored two goals in three minutes to make it a successful Champions League return.

Match report as Richarlison inspires Spurs with two headed goals; Chancel Mbemba was sent off for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity just after ...

For us it was important to get the three points and start well in this competition. I remember him telling me when he signed he wanted to listen to the Champions League music and play in this competition. One of Spurs' problems in trying to reach the next level with Kane at the forefront has been the tough task of convincing a central striker of sufficient talent to make the move and potentially play as Kane's understudy. A Spurs siege was expected on the Marseille goal but it didn't materialise with the visitors quite happy to defend deep in their box. This is why Richarlison is such a savvy signing from Antonio Conte. It was Richarlison riding to Tottenham's rescue here as they ground out a rather ugly win. Marseille were 30 minutes late arriving to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but it was Spurs that looked unprepared in the early stages. He wasn't needed on this occasion as Tottenham now have another world-class finisher that only needs a moment to make a difference in a game. Ivan Perisic cut back onto his left foot from the right and found Richarlison with a precise cross. The Brazilian powered a header through the gloves of Pau Lopez, who probably should have done better. The referee had little choice but to brandish the red card. Spurs' new number nine was left in tears, realising the stage he had just performed on.
