"A chaotic game saw Spurs go ahead through David Zima's bizarre own goal, before Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons each scored penalties in the second half to complete the win, though things could have been different had Slavia Prague taken one or two of their chances. It was Tottenham's third home win in as many games in the Champions League this season, conceding no goals across those three victories."
"Tottenham took just 45 seconds to test opposing goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek, who had to be on hand to brilliantly tip Richarlison's header over the bar. It was a wonderful save from the Slavia stopper but the Brazilian should probably have given him no chance with the effort. Spurs' early pressure continued and they took a deserved lead in the 26th minute when David Zima bizarrely headed the ball past his own goalkeeper after Pedro Porro's dangerous corner was nodded on by Cristian Romero."
Tottenham defeated Slavia Prague 3-0 at home to bolster their chances of finishing in the top eight of their Champions League group. An early own goal from David Zima, following Pedro Porro's corner and a Cristian Romero nod-on, put Tottenham ahead. Mohammed Kudus converted a penalty after a Youssoupha Sanyang challenge, and Xavi Simons scored a later penalty to seal the victory. Spurs created early chances and dominated possession but failed to consistently convert opportunities, leaving the game more open than desired. The win is Tottenham's third consecutive Champions League home victory without conceding and moves them temporarily into eighth place ahead of January fixtures.
