Tottenham v Elfsborg LIVE: Latest score and goal updates from Europa League game tonight – UK Times

17 min: Richarlison is fouled in midfield after a robust challenge from behind, and a moment later so is Moore. Elfsborg are not afraid to get stuck into their hosts, it seems.

14 min: A lovely little one-two between Son and Davies gets the captain to the byline, but he can’t pick out a teammate with his cutback and it’s cleared behind for a corner.

Son whips in the set-piece, which just evades Van de Ven at the back post after a defender’s touch! That was very close to being the opener.

11 min: Spurs are dominating the ball and the territory, but Isak Petterson hasn’t had much to do so far in the Elfsborg goal.

9 min: Son dribbles down the left side of the box and coaxes a foul from his marker, earning Spurs a free-kick on the edge of the area from a tight angle. Son tries to shoot but his low effort towards the near post is easily cleared by a waiting defender.

Spurs then get a corner, but Ben Davies can’t steer a close-range header on target.

7 min: Spurs have their first serious foray forwards and Richarlison can’t quite stretch enough to get his head on to a deep cross. A moment later Mikey Moore dribbles purposefully into the box but loses it under his feet surrounded by defenders.

5 min: A bright start by the visitors, who come forwards via a surging run by Hedlund. Spurs manage to deal with a ball into the box and get the ball clear.

2 min: Tottenham are wearing all white, while Elfsborg are in yellow shirts, black shorts and yellow socks, looking more than a little Dortmundish.

We’re underway on the Europa League group phase’s final night.

It’s a chilly night in north London as the players emerge on to the field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Let’s see if Spurs can earn the win that would book their spot in the last 16.

News coming through this evening that Tottenham are in talks with Bayern Munich over the potential signing of forward Mathys Tel, the PA news agency understands.

Spurs are in desperate need of reinforcements due to a lengthy injury list, which includes key attackers Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke.

Ange Postecoglou has repeatedly stated the current threadbare squad need help and Tottenham have stepped up their pursuit of Tel, who is eager to leave Bayern after only four starts this season.

Tel, 19, moved to the Bundesliga club in 2022 from Rennes after he become the youngest player to represent the Ligue 1 outfit at the age of 16.

After the versatile forward scored 10 goals in all competitions last season, he has found chances limited under new Bayern boss Vincent Kompany and is expected to move on during the final days of the winter transfer window.

While Tottenham will be eager to wrap up a deal which could be worth a reported £50m, they face competition from various rival Premier League clubs before Monday’s deadline.
