Okaka condemns Spurs to first defeat


Stefano Okaka
stricken the decisive goal as Anderlecht triumphed 2-1 to bring down a primary Europa League defeat of the season on Tottenham at Stade Constant Vanden Stock on Thursday.

Christian Eriksen place the guests ahead within the cluster J clash when simply four minutes, however Guillaume Gillet's fine equaliser ensured the scores were level at half-time.

Substitute Harry Kane unloved a good likelihood to place Spurs back ahead and therefore the Premier League aspect were created to pay simply moments later, as Okaka turned in Frank Acheampong's cross with quarter-hour to play to seal the win.

Spurs were undefeated since September's League Cup loss to Arsenal, however they struggled to impose themselves now and then against a high-pressing Anderlecht, WHO currently move level with Mauricio Pochettino's aspect on four points with 3 games compete.

Hugo Lloris flapped at a cross and role player Deschacht headed the ensuing corner straight at the Spurs keeper, before Eriksen tested Silvio early from twenty yards in a very frantic gap exchange.

It was Eriksen WHO stricken the opener, slotting sedately past early from twelve yards when Kara's tried clearance came directly mythical being Dendoncker's face and fell kindly into his path.

Eriksen teed up Erik Lamela for an excellent likelihood for a second, however the Argentina athlete discharged straight at early once unmarked within the realm, with Spurs left to rue that miss as Anderlecht hauled themselves level.

Steven Defour's corner bounced through the box to Gillet, WHO took barely before firing a half-volley through the crowded  space and into the bottom-left corner.

Okaka didn't connect properly with Imoh Ezekiel's cross from right ahead of Lloris, and therefore the France favorite had to be attentive to beat away Okaka's strike from eighteen yards out when Spurs didn't clear a free-kick.

Lamela prodded past early just for the offsides flag to come back to Anderlecht's rescue, before Okaka once more tested Lloris with a coffee drive from twenty five yards out as an exciting half finished level.

Lloris was far and away the busier keeper at the beginning of the last half, reacting fantastically to deny Okaka when his header bounced awkwardly through the six-yard box.

Anderlecht looked the a lot of possible to interrupt the standstill, however substitute Kane unloved a good gap for Spurs, shooting straight at early when holding off Kara within the realm.

Okaka had been spectacular throughout and therefore the European country striker was rewarded with the winning goal because of some dreadful Spurs defensive. Acheampong ran clear in behind Kieran Trippier and square for Okaka, WHO finished high past Lloris despite January Vertonghen's best efforts.

Dendoncker headed simply wide of the close to post from a corner and Dennis Praet was denied on the goal-line by Lloris, but, despite late Spurs pressure, Anderlecht stayed for his or her 1st win of the Europa League campaign.
