Tottenham suffered a painful defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, squandering a two-goal lead in the closing stages before losing 4-3 on penalties.
Spurs were cruising with a 2-0 advantage in the 85th minute, but a dramatic late surge from the French champions saw them level the match in stoppage time.
In the ensuing shootout, Tottenham once again held the upper hand but missed two spot-kicks, allowing PSG to complete their comeback and lift the trophy.
Thomas Frank’s side impressed for much of the contest, yet it was the Champions League holders who held their nerve when it mattered most. The defeat means Frank misses out on silverware in his first competitive match in charge, though the performance offers plenty for Spurs to build upon.
