NSTsports Leipzig leave Tottenham a Champions League mountain to climb

Spurs captain Hugo Lloris kept his side in the tie with a string of important saves, but last season's finalists face a huge task to turn the tie around in Germany on March 10.

Soccer Football - Champions League - Round of 16 First Leg - Tottenham Hotspur v RB Leipzig - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Britain - February 19, 2020 RB Leipzig's Amadou Haidara in action with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Winks Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Boyers Patrik Schick flashed a shot wide from the edge of the box before Werner's effort was blocked and Lloris turned Angelino's driven shot onto the post.

Leipzig are challenging Bayern Munich's grip on the German title this season and the visitors were not overawed by the stage in their first ever Champions League knockout tie. Leipzig could have regretted not making the most of their supremacy during the first 45 minutes as Gulacsi saved well from Lucas Moura and Bergwijn fired the rebound wide early in the second period.

Moments later only a fine save by Lloris denied Schick a second at the end of a flowing move involving Christopher Nkunku, Angelino and a delightful dummy from Werner to tee up his strike partner.
