Tottenham Hotspur's place in the Champions League is hanging by a thread after a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of RB Leipzig.

Leipzig started quickly and created a host of chances in the first half, with prolific striker Timo Werner wasting their best chance with a toe-poked shot straight at Hugo Lloris.

In the second period Leipzig finally got a deserved breakthrough when Ben Davies brought down Konrad Laimer, which Werner buried low past Lloris.

Spurs came back into the game in the latter period, with Giovani Lo Celso particularly influential, but they could not muster an equaliser.

The two sides meet again in three weeks time where Leipzig will be the favourites to reach the quarter-finals.
