UEFA Champions League: Tottenham Hotspur held to a 1-1 draw against Sporting CP after Bentancur nets late equaliser

Tottenham Hotspur and Sporting CP played out a 1-1 draw in the UEFA Champions League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, October 26.

Sporting eventually landed the first blow as they opened the scoring in the 22nd minute of the game. Marcus Edwards went on a brilliant run and an error in judgment from Hugo Lloris allowed the youngster to put the visitors in front.

Antonio Conte's men showed much more purpose following the restart. They looked motivated and were rewarded for the same in the latter stages of the game through Rodrigo Bentancur. The Uruguayan international headed home from a perfect corner kick from Ivan Perisic.

Having scored the equalizer, Tottenham switched gears in pursuit of a winner. They also thought they had all three points in the bag when Harry Kane scored in the dying minutes of the game.

However, his goal was revoked following a lengthy VAR review and the points were finally shared in London.
