- Tottenham remained clueless as they could not muster up a single goal, as the half time whistle blew with the scoreboard being 2-0.
- In the 2nd half, Barca kept things tight until, Son Heung-min finally scored the first goal for Tottenham at the 73rd minute.
- 2 minutes later, Georges-Kevin also joined the party as he netted the ball to level the scoreboard.
And just like that the game is tied at 2-2!
