FAREWELL & VICTORY: SON HEUNG-MIN WATCHES AS TOTTENHAM CLINCHES CRUCIAL UCL HOME WIN
Tottenham Hotspur secured a comfortable 3-0 home win against Slavia, featuring penalties from Kudus and Simons, on an emotional night marking Son's return.
With Son watching from the stands, Tottenham Hotspur secured a solid win against Thomas Frank's team in north London. The victory came thanks to David Zima's first-half own goal and penalties from Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons after halftime.
Fresh off Saturday's much-needed home win against Brentford, Tottenham made it two wins in a row at home, easing some pressure on Frank after a difficult period.
Tottenham has moved up to ninth place in the league before their last games against Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt in January. The top eight teams will automatically advance to the last 16, while teams from ninth to 24th will enter the playoffs.
I'm very happy with the win. "We're in a good position to move forward," Frank said.
I liked a lot about our play, but I also think we can do better in the future and have more control. We’ve had four games in only a few days.
The night was emotional at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Son returned to say goodbye officially after his summer move to Los Angeles FC.
Son scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham and captained the club to the Europa League victory against Manchester United last season, ending their 17-year wait for a trophy.
Just hours after his mural was revealed on the Tottenham High Road earlier that day, the 33-year-old spoke to the fans who loved him before the game. He also received a gift during an emotional ceremony on the field.
It was good to see him. I'm happy he got the reception he deserved. "He's a true Tottenham legend coming home," Frank said.
Spurs started fast.
Tottenham supporters were still singing Son’s name when their team almost scored after just 36 seconds.
Wilson Odobert outran David Doudera and found Richarlison, but his first-time shot was deflected over by Slavia's goalkeeper, Jindrich Stanek.
Slavia had failed to score in four of their last five games, but Lukas Provod came close with a strong half-volley.
Tottenham was hurt when centre-back Micky van de Ven was booked for arguing, which means he'll miss next month's important match with Dortmund.
But Frank's team took the lead after 26 minutes when Pedro Porro's corner was flicked on by Cristian Romero, and Zima accidentally headed it into his own net, marking Tottenham's 100th goal in the Champions League.
Tottenham increased their lead in the 48th minute when Porro was fouled by Youssoupha Sanyang's careless tackle.
Richarlison, who missed a penalty against Copenhagen earlier this season, seemed ready to take it until Tottenham captain Romero stepped in, and Kudus scored his third goal for the club.
Frank brought on Mathys Tel after the club decided to add the forward to their Champions League team this week, replacing the injured Dominic Solanke.
Tel’s first action was to test Stanek, who then made an even better save on the follow-up from Pape Sarr.
Simons has the ability to fill the spot left by Son, and the Dutch forward sealed the win in the 79th minute when he scored from the penalty spot after being fouled by Igoh Ogbu.
LEAGUE UPDATE: MAN UNITED’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HOPES BOOSTED BY COEFFICIENT POINTS SURGE
Manchester United move into fourth place as England's dominant UEFA coefficient makes a fifth Champions League spot almost certain.
Manchester United just got a real shot in the arm for their Champions League hopes this season. After knocking off Manchester City and Arsenal in back-to-back games, they’ve climbed into fourth place in the Premier League. It’s been a struggle for United to make the Champions League in recent years—their last run was in the 2023/24 season.
These days, finishing in the top four isn’t always enough for Premier League teams. UEFA now hands out extra spots, and it all depends on how clubs from each country perform across the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
So, how does it work? UEFA takes each league’s overall coefficient score—basically, a measure of how well their teams do in Europe—and divides it by the number of clubs they have in these competitions.
This season, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle all joined the European fight. Out of those six, only Newcastle had to go through the play-offs; the rest sailed straight into the knockouts.
Now that the Champions League group stage is done, you can really see which countries are in line for those bonus spots next year. Right now, England is out in front with 180,625 points. Germany follows with 107,000. Portugal sits in third with 14,700, and Spain is just behind on 14,375.
Here’s the key thing: the two countries whose teams rack up the best results across all three competitions this season each get a European Performance Spot—an extra Champions League place.
With England leading the pack, even a fifth-place finish in the Premier League could send United back into the Champions League instead of the Europa League. Newcastle took advantage of this last season.
If United hold onto fourth, they’re in. But there’s still a lot of football left. Interim boss Michael Carrick isn’t letting anyone get ahead of themselves—he’s already told his players to stay sharp.
Next up, United face Fulham at Old Trafford. They'll be chasing a third straight win and looking to keep Carrick’s perfect record going since he stepped in for Darren Fletcher.
JUST IN: PEP GUARDIOLA THANKS JOSE MOURINHO AFTER WILD NIGHT OF EUROPEAN DRAMA
Pep Guardiola thanks Jose Mourinho as Benfica’s last-gasp winner against Real Madrid sends City straight into the Last-16.
Pep Guardiola had a smile on his face and a message for Jose Mourinho after his old rival did him a huge favour, helping Manchester City sneak into the Champions League knockout rounds.
City took care of their own business, beating Galatasaray 2-0 at the Etihad. Haaland and Cherki got the goals, but the real drama was happening elsewhere. City’s spot in the last eight still hung in the balance because Real Madrid needed to equalise against Benfica. If they had, Guardiola’s squad would have been bumped into the play-offs instead.
That’s when Benfica’s goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, pulled off something wild. He left his box, charged forward for a late free kick, and scored a brilliant goal. Benfica won 4-2. That goal kept Benfica alive in the competition—and, as it turned out, saved City too.
Guardiola admitted he and his players were glued to the screen in the dressing room, completely confused when they saw Trubin running up for that last free kick. “We were all in there, watching, and none of us realised Benfica still needed a goal to qualify,” Guardiola said. “So when their keeper went up, we’re all thinking, ‘What are you doing?’ But Jose knew. It was a smart move. Finishing in the top eight, with how tough the Champions League has become, feels really good for us. Now we can focus on being at our best by March.”
Bernardo Silva didn’t hide how relieved he felt. Skipping those extra play-off games really matters, especially when you’re chasing a quadruple. “A bit of drama, but we did it. We’re very happy because we avoid two more matches,” he said. “With all the injuries we’ve got and the crazy schedule, having those two weeks free to rest, get players back, and focus on the other competitions is huge for us.”
As for Mourinho, he looked proud after Benfica’s wild finish. He’s won this tournament twice before, and he believed his side deserved to stay in. “That was a fantastic goal, a historic moment—almost blew the roof off the stadium,” Mourinho said. “Honestly, for Benfica to beat Real Madrid, that’s massive.”
