"Atletico Madrid take a commanding lead in their Champions League last-16 tie to North London, with a 5-2 win over Tottenham in the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano. The match was effectively finished inside the opening 20 minutes as Tottenham collapsed under early pressure."
"Atletico took the lead in the sixth minute when goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky slipped while attempting to play out from the back on his Champions League debut. Julian Alvarez quickly seized on the mistake and squared the ball for Marcos Llorente, who calmly finished into the bottom corner."
"Another error from Kinsky gifted the ball directly to Alvarez inside the box, leaving the Argentine with the simplest of finishes to make it 3-0. Tottenham manager Igor Tudor had seen enough, replacing Kinsky with Guglielmo Vicario after just 17 minutes, but the damage continued."
