Sessegnon 7/10, Eriksen 5/10 as Spurs fall to Bayern in UCL

Tottenham Hotspur ended their Champions League group stage campaign on a disappointing https://www.w88thais.com/latest-entrance-w88-mobile-android-ios/ note after falling to a 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in a low-key affair at the Allianz Arena.

Kingsley Coman opened the scoring after 14 minutes for the Bavarians following some lax Spurs defending before Ryan Sessegnon opened his Spurs account with an equalizer just six minutes later. The hosts were not to be denied though, as substitute Thomas Muller poked home in the closing stages of the first half to restore the Bayern lead, and Philippe Coutinho made the game safe with a well-placed strike from distance in the second half.



Positives
Sessegnon notched his first goal for Tottenham on his full debut for the North Londoners, in what was a promising display from the youngster. Juan Foyth was also a bright spark, as the centre-half shined on a pretty dim night for the visitors ww88 .

Negatives
It was a much-changed Spurs lineup, with Jose Mourinho leaving out a string of first-team regulars. Tottenham's fringe players let the boss down, with the likes of Christian Eriksen, Giovani Lo Celso and Danny Rose all struggling.

Manager rating out of 10
6 -- It's tough to give Mourinho too much criticism for giving players a chance in what was essentially a meaningless match, but it was always going to be a tough night when you looked at the respective teamsheets.


Player ratings (1-10; 10 = best, players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating)
GK Paulo Gazzaniga, 6 -- The Spurs stand-in made a superb save to tip Coutinho's long-range effort onto the bar, but had no chance against either of Bayern's first half strikes, or later the Brazilian's accurately arrowed effort for 3-1.

DF Kyle Walker-Peters, 5 -- The hosts had plenty of joy down the left flank and often doubled up on the exposed right-back, who was caught out of position for Coman's opener.

DF Juan Foyth, 7 -- The Argentine has spent large portions of his club and international careers as a right-back but put in a solid display at the heart of the Spurs defence.

DF Toby Alderweireld, 6 -- Could have been punished for poor marking, only for Ivan Perisic to head wide in the first half, in what was the Belgian's only major hiccup.

DF Danny Rose, 5 -- Caught out of position as Serge Gnabry found space and fired against the post, before poor defending again let the Germans in, on their way to going 2-1 ahead just before half-time w88 line .

MF Moussa Sissoko, 5 -- The Frenchman's deflection diverted the ball into the path of Coman to stroke Bayern ahead, and the former Newcastle man struggled to get to grips with the slick movement of Coutinho.

MF Eric Dier, 5 -- A match that was reasonably quick in nature rather passed the England international by, and with tougher tests to come in Europe in the New Year, Tottenham vitally need more dynamism in the middle of the pitch. Replaced by Victor Wanyama after 80 minutes.
