Great defending! Spurs' corner is cleared but Neto hesitates and allows the hosts to recover possession, only for Semedo to get his body between Werner and the ball to shepherd it out for a goal-kick – good play!

MASSIVE CHANCE FOR 3-1! Bellegarde should put the game to bed! Hwang breaks from the Tottenham corner, finding Neto in space out on the right.
