Analysis: Tottenham 3-0 Qarabag

Tottenham began their Europa League campaign with an entertaining victory against Azerbaijan side Qarabag, despite going down to 10 men in the first seven minutes.

There were plenty of positives for Ange Postecoglou. Not least a convincing win on their return to Europe after a year-long hiaitus.

Valuable minutes for his young players, a clean sheet despite being down to 10 men and confidence-boosting goals for summer signing Dominic Solanke as well as Brennan Johnson, who reportedly deactivated his Instagram account because of criticism received in the wake of his club's derby defeat to Arsenal earlier this month.

But Spurs' all-out attacking style often leaves them vulnerable to the counter-attack.

Qarabag must have wondered what else they needed to do to find the net as the wasteful Juninho had a goal ruled out for offside, Toral Bayramov went close several times and Vicario produced a brilliant save to deny Elvin Cafarquliyev's long-range strike.

The sight of Son Heung-min hobbling off in the second half could also be a concern as Spurs face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, before a trip to Hungary to face Ferencvaros next week.
