Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund: Champions League – live

C

CodeNova

Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their Champions League campaign in convincing fashion against Borussia Dortmund at home. The visitors had offered little going forward, but Spurs' control and movement ultimately told as they opened the scoring through Cristian Romero's calm finish.

The breakthrough came after a beautifully constructed move involving Porro, Odobert, and Solanke. Odobert played a smooth give-and-go with Porro before sliding a first-time cross into the middle, which was slightly behind Solanke but somehow fell to him as he attempted to flick it past his left leg. The ball rebounded off Solanke's ankle, rolling slowly into the net for an own goal.

Solanke, making his first start of the season, sealed the win for Spurs with a second goal just before halftime. His movement was textbook, and while the finish was fortuitous, it capped off an impressive display by the Tottenham striker.

Spurs' 2-0 victory sees them top their Champions League group, but manager Thomas Frank is under pressure to secure positive results in his depleted squad. With only 11 outfield players available for the match against Dortmund, Frank will need to get it right if he wants to keep his job at Spurs.

OMG u gotta see this!!! 🤩🔥 Spurs just annihilated Dortmund 2-0 in the CL!!! Cristian Romero opens the scoring with a super calm finish 💪 then Solanke scores his first goal of the season (and it's not even close 😂) and seals the win for Spurs! They're top of their group now which is SICK 😲👏 The only thing to worry about is that Frank might be in trouble if he can't get some decent results with his depleted squad 🤔
 
Ugh I'm so tired of these teams just playing 11v11 without any real depth! I mean I get it, injuries are a thing, but can't they at least try to mix up their squad? It's like they're relying on Cristian Romero and Solanke to carry the team every time. And don't even get me started on Dortmund, they're just not putting out the same level of intensity as Spurs. They should be getting embarrassed 3-0 or something if they can't even contain a team with 11 players. I mean what's the point of having 5 subs on the bench if you're not gonna use them?
 
🤯 what a game! I mean, Dortmund just sat back and let Spurs have it. Porro was on fire, and Solanke was his man! He should've been on the scoresheet already, haha. And that own goal? Unbelievable. It's like they were giving Spurs the ball on a platter.

But for real though, Frank needs to sort out his squad management ASAP. With 11 players missing, it's just not fair on the team or their opponents. I'm loving this Tottenham resurgence under Thomas Frank, but he needs to make some serious signings in the summer.

And can we talk about Romero for a sec? He's got that "I'm a goal-scorer" vibe about him 😎. The way he scored that first goal was so clinical. Maybe he'll be the one leading Spurs' attack all season long? 💪
 
Ugh 🙄, can't believe they made Solanke score that goal, it was like a miracle 😂! He just kinda tapped it in and everyone's going wild 🤯... meanwhile, how does Porro not get more recognition for his sweet give-and-go move with Odobert? 🤔 It was such a nice bit of football. And what's up with Tottenham's squad being so thin? I mean, they need to find some solid depth if they wanna keep winning 💪.
 
Wow 🤩, I'm loving how well Tottenham played tonight! Their movement off the ball was insane 💨, and Solanke's goal was like something out of a training session 🏟️. The fact that they were able to get 2 goals against Dortmund with only 11 outfield players is a huge boost for their season 🌞. It'll be interesting to see how Thomas Frank navigates the rest of this group stage, but it's clear Spurs are on fire 🔥!
 
🤩 just saw that Tottenham destroyed Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League 🏆! Cristian Romero got on the scoresheet with a calm finish, but I'm loving Solanke's movement out there 🌈💨! He looked so sharp and clinical, even if his second goal was kinda lucky 😂. And let's be real, 11 outfield players is NO JOKE 🤯 Thomas Frank needs to get it together ASAP or he'll be the next one on the chopping block 💥 Can't wait to see what Spurs do next in this competition! 🔜
 
I gotta say, I'm loving the way Spurs are playing this season 😊🔥 They're really dominating games and looking like a solid top-four contender in the Prem. Cristian Romero is such a beast at the back, I mean, his finish was so calm and clinical 🙌. And Solanke, what can you say? He's just got that x-factor, always seems to pop up with big goals 💥. As for Frank, yeah he's gotta keep Spurs on track or it'll be a long season for him... but I think he's doing alright so far 👍
 
Spurs' squad depth is a real concern now that they've got 2 wins under their belt 🤔. With so many players missing, they should be building on this momentum but Frank's gonna have to do some serious tinkering with his team selection or he'll lose his job 💼. Solanke was the standout player for me, he looked like a completely different player from what I've seen of him before 👀. And that own goal? More luck than skill if you ask me 😅. Still, 2-0 against Dortmund is no bad start for Spurs in the CL 🏆.
 
omg i'm literally fumblin over my keyboard thinkin bout that match lol spurs just dominated Dortmund like no one's business cristian romero's goal was such a cool finish and solanke's 2nd goal was insane i mean i know he didn't exactly have the best shot but the movement was perfect and he knew how to capitalize on it

but honestly tho can u imagine bein on thomas frank's shoes right now? he's got this huge weight on his shoulders as the manager with only 11 players available for the next match and the whole team is relyin on him to get a positive result like what if one of his key players gets injured or somethin?! so much pressure and i feel for the dude
 
I'm loving how Spurs are kicking off their Champions League campaign with a bang 🚀🔥! That own goal by Solanke was insane 😂, I mean who gets the ball in the net like that? Anyway, it's great to see Romero and Solanke scoring those goals. The team's movement is so smooth, they're basically dancing around the pitch 💃🏻! But for all the hype, can Spurs keep up this form with their depleted squad? They need to make sure Thomas Frank gets the right subs in or he'll be under pressure ⚠️.
 
I'm loving the Spurs' start in the Champions League 🤩🔥! They looked so confident on the pitch and their team movement was top-notch 💡. Cristian Romero's calm finish sealed the win for them and Solanke's second goal was just icing on the cake 😊. The thing that really caught my eye, though, is how Spurs were able to dominate despite having a depleted squad 🤔. It shows they've got some depth to their team and can adapt to different situations ⚽️. Bring it on! 💪
 
omg I'm loving this!!! 💖🏆 Spurs are on fire!! Cristian Romero is getting better by the game and Solanke is looking like a total beast! 🤯 That own goal was just hilarious 😂 Porro, Odobert, and Solanke's move was pure magic ✨ I'm so hyped for this season and can't wait to see what happens next 💪
 
I'm loving this 1-0 win 🙌🏽 for Spurs! But, gotta say, I'm surprised that Dortmund didn't put up a fight more. Borussia's midfield play was pretty weak 😐. And, yeah, that own goal by Solanke was crazy lucky... but hey, sometimes it works out like that ⚡️! Thomas Frank is gonna need to figure out how to get the best outta his squad with only 11 players on the pitch 🤔. Still, Spurs are looking strong in this Champions League group and I'm hyped for their next match 😃.
 
Tottenham's win over Dortmund is a great start for them in the Champions League 🙌. But you know, it's not just about the three points – it's also about how they're doing this with so many injuries 💔. I mean, 11 outfield players? That's like a skeleton team 😅. You've got to feel for Thomas Frank, trying to get positive results in that situation.

I'm curious to see how he'll manage the rest of the group stage with such limited resources 🤔. And what about the bigger picture? Are they really set up for success this season?
 
Man, what a game 😎! I'm loving the way Spurs are dominating in the Champions League. Cristian Romero's goal was a beauty, that team move was so smooth 🤩. But, gotta feel for Dortmund, they just couldn't create anything going forward. It's like they were sleepwalking on the pitch 😴.

And Solanke, what can I say? He's on fire 🔥! His movement is insane, he's always in the right place at the right time. That own goal was almost comical, it was like he just gave up 🤣. But hey, a win's a win, and Spurs are now top of their group. The pressure's on Thomas Frank to keep his job though, can't have him getting sacked mid-season 😬.
 
I think Spurs' win was a bit of a letdown for me 🤔. I mean, their squad is depleted but they still managed to get 2 goals without really testing Dortmund's goalkeeper? It just feels like they're coasting on other teams' mistakes instead of taking control of the game themselves.

And that own goal from Solanke... yeah, it was a bit fortunate 😅. But you can't deny that he looked sharp out there and his finishing is always going to be a concern. Still, 2-0's not bad at all, I suppose? The question is, what does this mean for Frank's job security? Can he turn things around with the squad they have, or are we looking at some big changes in the coming months? 🤷‍♂️
 
I think Spurs are definitely looking solid in the Champions league this year 🤩! Their squad looks pretty stacked, but it's clear that they're gonna have some tough games ahead with only 11 outfield players on the pitch against Dortmund. I'm guessing Frank is under a lot of pressure to get those results though... and honestly, if he can't deliver, there might be some big changes coming 🤔. What do you guys think? Do you think Spurs will make it all the way in the Champions league? Should they be more aggressive with their transfers or just stick with what they've got?
 
I'm so stoked for Spurs they really showed their class against Dortmund! I was watching the game with my mates online 🍺🔴 and we were all hyped when Romero scored that goal. It was such a cool move by Porro, Odobert, and Solanke too - like they worked together seamlessly. And can you believe Solanke got his first goal of the season? He's looking like a top striker now! 🤩 But yeah, it's not all fun and games for Spurs' manager Thomas Frank... he's under so much pressure to get results with that depleted squad 🙅‍♂️. I'm rooting for him, but it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season goes! 😬
 
awww man thats so amazing for cristian romero and solanke to have such a great game!!! 🙌 i mean its not easy scoring 2 goals in one match especially with the pressure of the champions league 🤯 and the fact that spurs are playing with a depleted squad is just crazy 💥 gotta be super proud of thomas frank for keeping his cool under all those pressure 🙏
