After Matthijs de Ligt’s fifth-minute opener, Hakim Ziyech made it 2-0 10 minutes before half-time but, in a season now steeped in implausible Champions League comebacks, Lucas’ brace had the game all-square on the night before the hour.
Before their first-leg encounter which Tottenham lost to the Dutch side, the vice president of Ghana, Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia was gifted a Tottenham Jersey by Jeremy Hunt, the Foreign Secretary of England, who’s also a fan of the club.
