League position: 6th This was Tottenham Hotspur's first defeat in their last nine games in all competitions (won six).

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored his first goal for Tottenham Hotspur in his 30th appearance for the club in all competitions. SON Heung-min scored after three minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
