Lucas Moura had put the Londoners, coached by star coach José Mourinho, ahead in the 18th minute of the match. After a pass from his compatriot Carlos Vinicius to the penalty area, the Brazilian sank the ball into the net with his right. An own goal by Andrés Andrade (27th), who unfortunately deflected a Stangl pass from superstar Gareth Bale, made it 2-0. Son Heung Min (84th) scored for the final score.
Tottenham lead Group J after their first game against Royal Antwerp. The Belgians had won the parallel match at Ludogorez Razgrad after falling 2-1 (0-0). Pieter Gerkens equalized after Higinio’s first goal (46th) in the 63rd minute. Lior Refaelov (70th) scored to win. Rasgrad occupies third place in the table before the direct duel against LASK. Antwerp will host Tottenham next Thursday (both games at 6:55 pm).
Europa League: LASK and Rapid lose, draw for WAC
Three Austrian football clubs were in action in the Europa League on Thursday night. But there was only a sense of accomplishment for the WAC. The Carinthians achieved a 1-1 draw against CSKA Moscow. LASK and Rapid lost to the best clubs in London.
Lost guests
While there were no surprises at LASK, Mourinho had moved his side to eight spots in the Premier League compared to 3: 3 against West Ham. Unsurprisingly, Bale made his debut in the starting eleven, Vinicius bursting in in place of star Harry Kane.
“Even the underdogs have created surprises,” LASK coach Dominik Thalhammer said, but the game in front of the empty stands in the 62,000-meter arena was a bad star for LASK from the start. Already in the fourth minute, midfielder James Holland was injured without outside interference and had to be replaced by Lukas Grgic. However, LASK acted bravely as usual but barely managed to get past the home team’s defense. If so, then you were only remotely dangerous by standards.
Tottenham took advantage of LASK’s offensive spirit, acted stronger in two fights, combined time and again with great speed and technical quality in the last third and made it 1-0 in the 18th minute – Vinicius had played a long ball over Moura , who was in the center Gernot Trauner rushed and fired easily. Just nine minutes later it was Reguilon, who started the 2-0 with a strong solo until the sixteenth, from him the ball came to Bale, whose Stanglpass finally led Andrade to slip into his own goal.
Long shot of Gruber as a highlight
With the next kickoff, LASK nearly caught the 0: 3, Alexander Schlager slipping a low shot from Eric Lamela under the upper body, but the keeper caught the ball afterward. To make matters worse, Rene Renner had to give way to Petar Filipovic about ten minutes later (39th), the winger was no longer quite fit minutes before after a collision with Emile Höjbjerg.
Towards the end of the first half, LASK gave signs of life on a blocked attempt by Trauner and a wonderful long-distance shot from Andreas Gruber, which Tottenham’s two-man Joe Hart goal defused with a parade (45th), however , and was visibly ready in the second half to record at least partial success in North London.
Spurs reviewed after switching ends
Rookies Johannes Eggestein and Marvin Potzmann came into play after the break, but there were hardly any real chances to score. After all, Grigic Hart went over the side from a short distance (53rd), Filipovic headed over the crossbar (66th).
The Spurs continued their coolly controlled game and regained the advantage from the 65th minute or so. After a good hour Mourinho had also brought in two other well-known kickers with Son and Dele Alli, the 3-0 at the end seemed only a matter of time. In the 75th minute, Schlager scraped the ball off the line, but nine minutes later, Son fixed the final score after a poignant chip.
Voices for the game:
Dominik Thalhammer (LASK coach): “In terms of aggressiveness and courage, we didn’t find our way into the game the way we wanted, we didn’t push the ball the way we wanted. In the second half we were much braver and we did many things well. In the end, it must be said that Tottenham has the highest individual quality. It was a well deserved victory for Tottenham. I think the teams we can score against will come. “
Lukas Grgic (LASK midfielder): “In the first half we were a bit too passive with the ball, but in the second half we controlled it. The biggest difference is in individual quality. But I think we were bravely opposed. “
