Tottenham Hotspur cruised past Slavia Prague 3-0 in the UEFA Champions League, securing their third consecutive home win without conceding. The hosts dominated the game, but Slavia's goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek made some incredible saves, including a spectacular stop from Richarlison after just 36 seconds.
The breakthrough came in the 26th minute when David Zima scored an own goal, heading the ball into his own net after Cristian Romero flicked on Pedro Porro's corner. This marked Tottenham's 100th Champions League goal. Mohammed Kudus doubled the lead with a penalty, scoring his third goal for the club, and Xavi Simons sealed the win with another penalty.
Tottenham's intensity was palpable, with Pedro Porro's shot blocked by David Zima, and Staněk making crucial saves to deny Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison. Despite being level, Thomas Frank's side was pushing hard for the win.
Spurs suffered a setback as Micky van de Ven was booked for putting his arm in Mojmir Chytil's face, meaning he'll miss the Borussia Dortmund match. Lukáš Provod had a shot from range that tested Guglielmo Vicario, while Michal Sadilek's header went harmlessly off-target as Spurs pushed for an opener.
Slavia Prague's mistake proved costly in the 26th minute, as Cristian Romero's flick on Pedro Porro's corner led to David Zima scoring an own goal. The visitors continued to push, but Tottenham's goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made crucial saves to keep the lead intact.
Spurs got a penalty just three minutes into the second half after Sanyang challenged Porro, and Mohammed Kudus scored from the spot to double the lead. Stanek made another great save to deny Odobert, and Richarlison missed a great chance from Odobert's pass.
Tottenham made a flurry of substitutions around the hour mark, but Slavia Prague's goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek continued to impress, stopping Mathys Tel and Pape Matar Sarr. Xavi Simons was the next to test Stanek, and although he got a hand to the ball, Simons' penalty was the decisive moment.
