Europa League round-up: Tottenham's 10 men clinical in seeing off Qarabag

rte.ie

Tottenham started their Europa League campaign with an impressive 3-0 home win over Qarabag despite playing 83 minutes with 10 men.After kick-off was delayed due to the late arrival of Qarabag's team bus, Radu Dragusin’s night lasted only seven minutes when he received a red card after dragging Juninho to the ground with the Brazilian through on goal.It failed to significantly knock Ange Postecoglou’s team off their stride though, with Brennan Johnson able to score for a third successive match five minutes later before Pape Sarr doubled the hosts’ advantage in the 52nd minute.Qarabag did regularly threaten and Tural Bayramov fired a spot-kick over after Sarr’s strike, which all but ended the visitors’ hopes and Dominic Solanke made it back-to-back goals with 22 minutes left to ensure Tottenham earned a third win in a row before Sunday’s trip to Manchester United.However, they have have to contest that clash without Son Heung-min, who limped off just after Solanke's goal in a rare sour note on a positive night for Tottenham.Rangers ran out comfortable 2-0 winners over Malmo in Sweden.Philippe Clement's side had a dream start with Albania midfielder Nedim Bajrami scoring his first goal for the Ibrox club in less than a minute after Cyriel Dessers had struck a post.Substitute Ross McCausland sealed matters 14 minutes from time with a crisp, low strike after Malmo’s Isaac Kiese Thelin saw his angled volley ruled out for offside.Lyon are Rangers’ next opponents at Ibrox and the Ligue 1 club began their campaign with a 2-0 home win over Olympiacos.
