Tottenham Reduced to Nothing in 9-goal Champions League Thriller

SOURCE
It was an inconceivable night for Tottenham, one not envisaged, even in their wildest nightmares. They came into the match against a backdrop of a successful 2018/19 Champions league outing, one which they could even have one, if not for Liverpool's superior firepower. Of course, they were weary of Bayern's aggressive strike force they just lost concentration for a moment, and that was all it took.

Son-Heung-Min put them ahead few minutes into the game, raising hopes which gave the fans reasons chant. It was their home-ground anyway, the least they could do is get behind their players in the greatest club competition of the season. But it came crashing down, their hopes - like a pack of cards - Few moments later when Kimmich restored parity and tilted Tottenham towards anxiety.

The battle became more intense, getting every concerned fan at the edge of seat. And when Harry Kane's penalty seemed to even things out, neutralising Bayern's lead, the flurry of goals came rushing in. It was like a real-life horror movie for Tottenham, watching their net ruffle 7 times from the inside, helplessly and dejectedly.

Gnabry was the man who stole the show, finding the net four times in one night, in a glorified competition. The Hero for Bayern and the Villian for Spurs was not hesitant with his quick fires, scoring two in two minutes and scoring two in five during the course of the match. The former Arsenal man made an impression on his return to London, one which will remain an indelible scar in the hearts of Pochettino's men and Tottenham fans at large.

Tottenham also broke an unwanted record for themselves, becoming the first english team to concede 7 goals in European history since they also lost 8-0 to Koln in 1995. Could it have gotten any worse? They now sit at the buttom of the table, having only been able to garner a point so far.
