Match Review: Tottenham Assert Authority in London

Tottenham delivered a resounding 4-0 triumph over FC Copenhagen in their Champions League encounter, maintaining their unbeaten streak in the competition. The North London outfit dominated from the outset, overcoming a second-half red card incident to secure three more points.

First Half: Early Advantage for Spurs

The home side quickly established control at their stadium. In the 19th minute, Brennan Johnson capitalised on a superb assist from Xavi Simons to give Tottenham the early lead. Merely five minutes later, Pedro Porro nearly extended the advantage with a free kick that sailed over the crossbar.

Second Half: Relentless Attack Despite Red Card

Tottenham intensified their assault after the interval. Wilson Odobert doubled the lead in the 51st minute, exploiting a costly mistake from Copenhagen goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski. Micky van de Ven soon added a third, firing a precise effort into the bottom left corner to put the score beyond doubt.

Spurs suffered a setback in the 57th minute when Brennan Johnson received a straight red card following intervention from VAR. Despite being reduced to ten men, the hosts maintained their momentum and continued to carve out opportunities.

João Palhinha completed the scoreline at 4-0 in the 67th minute, finishing off a swift counterattack initiated by Cristian Romero. Tottenham had an opportunity to extend their lead in stoppage time, but Richarlison struck the crossbar from the penalty spot before the final whistle sounded.
