Tottenham might hope Gareth Bale had better things to do than watch this. They got out of trouble against a limited Lokomotiv Plovdiv side but only after the Bulgarians imploded late on, going down to nine men in the final 10 minutes before a Harry Kane
penalty and a bundled Tanguy Ndombele winner inflicted due punishment.
Before that they had toiled, falling behind to Georgi Minchev’s strike and facing a chastening early exit from the Europa League.
They will now face Shkendija, from Macedonia, and on this evidence José Mourinho will need to go as strong as he did here. His team selection made it perfectly clear that this assignment was no sideshow. TheGuardian
