Tottenham vs Eintracht Frankfurt

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR return to Champions League action for their reverse fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt - and it is a crucial one.Spurs struggled to.

We hope you enjoy all the entertainment that is on offer to continue a spectacular Champions League campaign so far... Both teams today will be needing to get three points in this grudge match, but both teams will also be desperate not to lose, as if they do, they could be in serious danger of dropping out of the competition. We are set for a brilliant game, with plenty on the line. The sides are currently level on points, with both possessing a record of one win, one draw (against each other) and one loss. We are going to hedge our bets on the entertaining side of things, and hope we are right with a 3-1 win for Spurs tonight. Frankfurt are in the capital today and will be hoping to pick up another three points in their Champions League run. The stadium has a seating capacity of 62,850, and features the world's first retractable pitch, so that the ground can be used for other events, such as the NFL, when it comes to town. It can go a multitude of ways when both teams need to win, as it can be very open, with plenty of goals, or very cagey from the start, with both teams not wanting to lose. Whichever team wins it tonight will pick up a huge three points in the group, as either team could go to the top of the group should Marseille beat Sporting Lisbon like they did last week. This is a tough one to call for us at SunSport, with so much on the line tonight for both sides. Frankfurt were also guilty of missing a few chances, and you would expect both teams tonight to be more clinical in front of goal. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR return to Champions League action for their reverse fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt - and it is a crucial one.

At the same time, I spoke to the doctor and he said there would be a five per cent risk if we played him tomorrow. For sure Bayern are a top, top club but all my concentration is on Tottenham and trying to win tomorrow night." Kane, whose contract runs out in the summer of 2024, has been linked with a move to the Bundesliga club. "I don't want to take risks because Deki is very important for us. [Ryan] Sessegnon is a player who is growing in an important way, and for me he was the best choice for this game. "He had an MRI on Monday and that was really, really positive. Lovely play from Rode, but that's a terrible goal for Spurs to concede. Dejan Kulusevski will not feature tonight as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained on international duty last month. He watched it onto his left foot, 12 yards out, and scorched a volley into the roof of the net. Spurs regained possession, with Hojbjerg getting to the byline before standing up a cross towards Son. That's a very good save, and the final touch of an eventful first half. The goal came from a mistake by Eric Dier, who miscontrolled Romero's square pass across the Spurs area.

He points to the heavens as he runs back to the centre circle. Frankfurt did not offer much going forward in Germany last week and had a bad result at the weekend against Bochum.

Hojbjerg gets down to the touchline and clips a perfect ball into the box for Son to volley home with real venom. Lovely ball from Harry Kane into the path of Son Heung-min and he races through and slots past the keeper. Antonio Conte is going for it with his attacking options against Frankfurt. Then Hojbjerg showed how you cross from the right with a run and delightful clipped ball into the box where Son met it with a technically brilliant volley with his left foot. [BETFRED](https://bfpartners.click/o/1uTLBh?site_id=105470)! Now that's a lovely cross from the right. With Lucas Moura back on the bench it gives him the chance to play all three attackers and still have a forward on the bench he trusts to come on later in the game. 2-1 to Spurs. Lovely technique with his left foot.

Kane to take it... In the book he goes. A chance for Eintracht? Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur Stadium / 12.10.2022

Minute-by-minute report: Who will bank the points in one of the Champions League's tightest groups? Join Gregg Bakowski.

Lindstrom picks up possession and whips a cross in to Kamada, but the ball bounces up high and the forward, unmarked in the box, can’t get a clean connection. Lucas Moura returns to the bench after a lengthy injury absence with a tendon issue. The Spurs and Eintracht fans are making quite a din. My expectation is to play a really good game and get three points.” On picking Sessegnon over Perisic: “Sessegnon is a player I think is growing in an important way and now I think today he was the best choice to start with.” On whether he has set Spurs up to be more expansive in their attacking play: “We try to score because if we don’t score we don’t win. With the group so tight, this is a big one. 11 min: Kane attempts to find Son at the back post but N’Dicka stretches out a long leg and hooks the ball away athletically. 6 min: Sessegnon hoiks a looping cross into the box that drops from a great height at the back post. Hojbjerg shuffles down the right wing and lifts a floated cross to the middle of the penalty area where Son backs off and waits and watches. Kane tries to curl it into the top corner, but it’s at least a foot over. The goalkeeper gets a finger to it, but the power takes it past him. 45 min: The Eintracht fans are still making a decent noise but it lacks the hope of earlier chanting. Then Spurs break and Emerson takes an extra touch in the box when he could square to Kane, allowing Eintracht to clear for a corner.

Son Heung-Min inspired Tottenham to a crucial victory as Antonio Conte's side held it together against last season's Europa League winners.

All four teams in the group have showcased their best and worst, so it would be foolish to predict how it will all turn out. The Tottenham forward was sensational and made his early-season form slump seem a distant memory. From that point on, Spurs were in control, and they produced a mature performance to eventually overcome a Frankfurt team built in their own image -- three at the back and plenty of pace in forward positions. [Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/159543/Pierre-Emile-Hojbjerg)'s cross put the game beyond Frankfurt, but while he didn't score or create any of Tottenham's goals, Richarlison's contribution was hugely important for Antonio Conte's team. With each team picking up at least one win so far, it is the tightest of all eight groups this season, and the table could be turned on its head again on matchday five next week. It left his team with an impossible mountain to climb. Kane, Son and Richarlison now have 16 goals between them this season, and while Kane has more than half of them (9), the collective strength of Conte's front three was evident against Frankfurt. On the contrary, they held their nerve and equalised through Son within six minutes of Frankfurt's opener. When the Bundesliga side took a 14th-minute lead through Kamada, it looked like bad news for Spurs against a side that had won six of its past seven European away games. The old "Spursy" tag has faded in recent years, but under Antonio Conte, it doesn't apply, and we saw proof of that against Eintracht Frankfurt.
