Chance!
What a beautiful attack by Tottenham!
Bentancur starts things off with a strong pass to Maddison who lets it roll by with a back heel that reaches Son.
The Spurs captain plays it out to Johnson down the left and the forward tries a low cross towards Petrovic's bottom left corner where Emerson is attacking but the full-back just misses the ball as it goes out for a free-kick.
That would have been a definite equaliser if the Brazil international got to the ball.
