Victor Osimhen fires Galatasaray past Spurs as Lankshear scores and sees red

There was certainly little shock in the fact that these particular teams contrived a wild, breathless encounter whose openness could have lent itself to a cricket score. Such a tally would have run in the home side’s favour had they converted a seemingly endless string of chances, Victor Osimhen spurning enough openings for a double hat-trick, and the patched up nature of Spurs’s side was only partly an excuse for their inability to assert any control.
