Mathys pays penalty in a Paris snatch

- RYAN TAYLOR

WELCOME to Thomas Frank.

Tottenham, Just when you began to warm to the prospect of the Europa League winners being a different animal under the Dane, you were reminded that nothing is ever straightforward when Spurs concerned are They led 2-0 with just five minutes to play and had made the Champions League winners look ordinary for the best part of an hour.

Yet somehow, they came away scratching their heads after losing on penalties and fumbling the chance to win a second European trophy in just four months.

Goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero had put Tottenham ahead before Lee Kang-in pulled one back and fellow sub Goncalo Ramos then wrestled back the game in the dying moments to send the tie to spot-kicks.

When Vitinha missed from 12 yards, you thought Spurs' luck was in but Van de Ven and Mathys Tel both fluffed their lines as PSG's continental dominance continued.
