Inter Milan 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Three defeats in a row as Spurs lose Champions League tie (September 18, 2018)

Tottenham have lost 2-1 against Inter Milan in their opening Champions League Group B match.

Inter completed a dramatic late turnaround as Matias Vecino headed in from close range in stoppage time.

Spurs were unable to respond and suffered a third straight defeat for the first time under Pochettino.

Spurs took the lead eight minutes into the second half through Christian Eriksen.

The Denmark midfielder's first effort from the edge of the box was pushed away by Samir Handanovic but from the rebound, Eriksen's deflected effort looped over the Inter goalkeeper and into the net.

Tottenham were punished for wasting a number of second-half chances as Mauro Icardi equalised for Inter with four minutes left.

The striker brilliantly volleyed in from the edge of the area from Kwadwo Asamoah's left-wing cross before Vecino completed the comeback in the final seconds.
