Spurs get a red card after 7 minutes (Dragusin), Ange takes Bergvall off, inserts Udogie.

Spurs immediately score. Brennan Johnson is the greatest player in the world

In other matches:

Rangers beat Malmo 2-0
Fenerbahce defeated Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1

Greatest player in the world should have had a second there after some suicidal stuff from the Qarabag keeper.

Ange needs to figure out how to get through this match without completely running his important players into the ground prior to Sunday's trip to Old Trafford. I would consider taking off Son and Solanke pretty early, if not at halftime then on 55-60 minutes, for Werner and Moore. You just need guys to run around a lot and be threats on the counter, put those miles into some less important legs.

Son off. I imagine Solanke off for Moore maybe?

EDIT: Yep.

Great result for Rangers, they really needed that and Scotland needs to get the coefficient moving in the right direction so well done to the Ibrox team.

Poor showing from Man Utd at Old Trafford. FC Twente played well, but Utd have to win those matches. I don't think Ten Hag's gonna last the season.

Didn't catch the Spurs match but a 3-0 victory with ten players is always a good result. I watched a clip of the Dragusin 'incident'. What can I say other than wake up and shut up. Mistakes will always happen, but not that kind of mistake and not when you're desperate for game time.

And the downrange effects of it hurt too--Bergvall only got 11 minutes, Udogie had to play 80 minutes instead of maybe 15-20 (or 0), other starters had to potentially play more. Thankfully no injuries (MAJOR CORRECTION--Son picked up a knock), but Dragusin put them in a tougher spot than potentially going down 1-0 in 8th minute would have.

Lively atmosphere in Budapest for Spurs and Ferencvaros--driving rainstorm and a lot of intensity. Spurs have their work cut out for them.

Sarr puts Tottenham up 1-0 following some calamitous defending by Ferenvcaros.

Brennan Johnson likely seals the win with a goal off the bench. That is five straight games with a goal across all competitions for the Welsh winger.

Bruno getting a red, Maguire coming in to salvage a point. Never a dull moment at United.

A point away at Porto isn't the worst outcome in the world, but I think we all know ETH is on borrowed time.

Galatasaray doing a job on Spurs at the moment. Leading 3-1 at half time. Spurs scored with their only shot on target. They've been a bit sloppy and disjointed. Osimhen 's on a hat trick. If Spurs can get the next goal they might be able to get something from the match. Easier said than done as Galatasaray were much the better team in the first half. Spurs have a decent bench though.

Galatasaray's squad is such a Galatasaray-ish team, they have so many "ah, so that's where that guy ended up" players: Davinson Sanchez, Lucas Torreira, Dries Mertens, Mauro Icardi, Michy Batshuayi.

I thought Osimhen is the next ballon d'or winner. Why is he spending his prime in Turkey?
He made it clear that his intention was to move on from Napoli, so the club planned around his departure. A bunch of potential deals never came to fruition (PSG, a KSA team, Chelsea), so Napoli had to loan him for the season. Only Galatasaray was willing to match his salary after Icardi got hurt.

dilly ding dilly dong it's Europa League man!

Roma equalizes in 90+1

Minutes earlier, Solanke had the ball in front of the net in an awkward body contortion and missed point blank. That's So Spursy
Roma could have scored 6. I thought they were going to blow it for sure. The Unimas color guy kept cracking himself up and said Mamma Mia a few times. Great game.

Rangers currently a goal up at Ibrox against Spurs. Rangers are on top but they need another goal to press home the advantage. The crowd are in full voice. Some atmosphere.

Heard there’s a lot of Chas and Dave like characters in Govan tonight. And Spurs equalize.
Yeah i was in the City Centre earlier and I did hear a few London accents.

Kulusevski is one of the Spurs players that is in good form, I'm not shocked he's made his mark on the game. Solanke with the assist so the subs getting it done for Spurs.

I was concerned they're irretrievably overplayed it when Solanke didn't shoot that one, but it all worked out. 3 points would have been a lot better for Spurs, but with this absolute patchwork of a current squad situation you take the point and move on.

Just get Ange to January and get a few bodies in and a few more bodies healthy.

That Černý guy looked pretty lively for Rangers.
