Tottenham Hotspur v Eintracht Frankfurt: Champions League – live (The Guardian)

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.
