Tottenham Hotspur’s perfect Europa League start ended when they lost 3-2 at Galatasaray on Thursday, with Victor Osimhen scoring twice for the home side and Will Lankshear scoring his first goal for Spurs but also being sent off.

Yunus Akgun put Galatasaray ahead in the sixth minute with a stunning half-volley from distance, but Spurs leveled 12 minutes later when Brennan Johnson’s strike across goal left Lankshear with a simple tap-in.

Radu Dragusin was caught napping at the back in the 31st minute and was dispossessed by Mauro Icardi. The ball fell to Dries Mertens who slid a pass to Osimhen and the Nigerian striker fired first into the bottom corner.

Osimhen struck again six minutes before half-time. Mertens floated a ball into the area and, between two defenders, the attacker cushioned a volley past the keeper from just outside the six-yard box.

Lankshear received his second yellow card seven minutes into the hour, but 10-man Tottenham pulled a goal back nine minutes later when substitute Dominic Solanke whipped Pedro Porro’s cross into the net.

The visitors pushed for an equalizer but the loss, after winning their first three games, left them on nine points, one behind unbeaten Galatasaray.
