Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to save its men’s UEFA Champions League campaign by winning 2-1 at Marseille on the final matchday of the group stage. A stoppage-time goal by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg gave Spurs the win and first place in the group ahead of second-place Frankfurt, while Marseille finished fourth in the group after being in a position to advance to the Champions League knockout rounds (at Spurs’ expense) when it was ahead 1-0 in this match. Here are my three thoughts on the game:

Champions League group stage game #6. The definition of “head on a swivel”. The CL rarely disappoints. Thanks, Grant.
This match showed why Arsenal was not competitive when it had to rely on Kolasinac and Guenduozi.
Conte wasn’t managing today, right? Wasn’t that a result of the red card from Saturday?
