Champions League: Spurs boss Pochettino relieved after Red Star win

Tottenham Hotspurs put in a five-star performance to beat Red Star Belgrade 5-0 in their Champions League encounter on Tuesday. This victory was their first in the competition and just fourth in their last 13 fixtures in all competitions this season. The win also eases the pressure on their manager Mauricio Pochettino for the time being at least.

Champions League: Kane and Son Heung-Min bag brace

Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min both scored twice and Erik Lamela grabbed the other goal as Spurs recorded their first win, having picked up only a point from their opening two games. Red Star failed to match Spurs' intensity for much of the game as the scoreline rightly suggests. Pochettino couldn't have asked for more from his side, which blew the visitors away. A good attacking display that showed fluidity and rhythm along with solidity at the back was reminiscent of the old Spurs and might just shape up their season ahead.
