Tottenham have to shrug off their ‘nearly-men’ tag after appearing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory against Juventus

Tottenham seemed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. With more than an hour gone they were 1-0 up and in control.

At that stage in the second half, I thought they should have brought on Victor Wanyama and tried to protect their lead but they kept going for another goal.

In doing so, Spurs left themselves open and were punished.
