End of match

End of match

  • 95'
    FT: Tottenham 3-2 Vitesse! An eventful first match in charge for Conte goes the way of the Italian manager. A stunning opening half-hour gave way to a nervy end to the first half, followed by a second period where they were reliant on Lloris' heroics to keep them in the game. Romero's dismissal tipped the game the way of Vitesse, before two late red cards for the visitors extinguished any threat of a comeback.
  • 93'
    The substitute goalkeeper pulls off a smart stop to prevent Lo Celso's effort from sailing over him, after good work by Ndombele.
  • 91'
    Reguilon is adjudged to be in an offside position.

    Spurs triple sub: Ndombele on for Son, Sanchez on for Moura and Winks on for Skipp.
  • 69'
    The skipper to the rescue again! A superb, one-handed save to turn Bazoer's curling, right-footed effort from just outside the box, around the upright. The captain has really pulled out all the stops this evening.
  • 68'
    Vitesse have pinned Spurs right back since the red card and, aside from Moura's run just now, the home side are struggling to get out and hold the ball up front.
  • 65'
    Hojbjerg has dropped in as the third centre-back for Spurs and is playing in between Dier, on his right, and Davies, on his left.

  • 63'
    Buitink is booked for a foul on Dier.
  • 59'
    Romero receives a second yellow card and is sent off.
  • 56'
    Openda concedes a free-kick for a foul on Emerson.
  • 53'
    Another excellent save from the Tottenham skipper! A cross from the left finds its way through to Openda out on the right. He cuts onto his left foot before firing a fierce, rising strike that is heading for the roof of the net, before Lloris, at full stretch, tips it over the bar leading with his left hand.
  • 49'
    Skipp fails to bring a pass under control which allows the 21-year-old to pounce on the loose ball before nutmegging the Tottenham midfielder before letting fly with a low, right-footed effort, which veers away from danger and out for a goal kick.
  • 48'
    Hojbjerg is penalised for a foul on Bazoer.
  • 46'
    The second half begins. We are back under way in London!
  • 45'
    Vitesse HT sub: Openda on for Gboho.
  • 45'
    HT: Spurs 3-2 Vitesse! Everything was going to plan for Spurs and Conte as they raced into that three-goal lead with exciting, high-tempo and purposeful football. The party atmosphere has gone a bit flat after two slack moments gave Vitesse more than a hope of pulling off a comeback but those goals were just reward for a visiting side who have played with attacking intent and verve themselves.
  • 45'
    Davies concedes a free-kick for a foul on Buitink.
  • 45'
    1 minute added on.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Vitesse en el 39'
  • 39'
    GOAL for Vitesse! The visitors have another! The visitors have another! Gboho pounces on a misplaced pass down the left flank and nudges the ball into the bath of the Slovakian midfielder, who places a low, right-footed effort around Lloris and into the far corner.

de Vitesse en el 32'
  • 32'
    GOAL for Vitesse! Jacob Rasmussen atones for his own goal! From the resultant corner after that marvellous Lloris save, Wittek's outswinging delivery from the left is in a perfect area for the defender to attack. He outjumps Dier and powers a thumping header into the net.

de Vitesse en el 28'
  • 28'
    GOAL for Spurs! Tottenham have a third! The unfortunate Vitesse defender slides in to prevent Kane from having a strike at goal from close range but, in doing so, bundles the ball over the line himself and is unable to shift his body around in time to prevent it from going in.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Tottenham Hotspur en el 22'
  • 22'
    GOAL for Spurs! Lucas Moura links up nicely with Kane just inside the opposition half, before the forward returns the favours with a through ball down the centre that leaves the 29-year-old with only the keeper to beat, and he side-foots an effort through the legs of the onrushing Schubert.
  • 21'
    Son hits the woodwork. So close to a second! Son shows excellent close control in engineering a shooting opportunity from close range, but crashes his left-footed effort against the upright.
  • 20'
    Davies's clearing header following a cross from the left is snaffled by the midfielder on the edge of the box, but his fierce, right-footed effort deflects off Hojbjerg's back and out for a corner.
  • 17'
    Wittek whips in the set piece from the left for the run of the visiting skipper, who rises above Romero at the back post, but is unable to keep his powerful header down.
  • 16'
    Højbjerg is penalised for handball.
  • 15'
    GOAL for Spurs! The hosts are in front! The South Korean international is quickest to react to the loose ball after Schubert's double save, and drills a low, right-footed into the far corner for the first goal of the Antonio Conte era.
  • 14'
    Buitink's clever lay-off allows the winger to cut inside from the left, but he can only blast into the side netting.
  • 11'
    Bazoer beats Kane to a pass midway inside the Tottenham half and feeds Gboho, who tees up the 21-year-old forward out to his right. The Danish Under-21 international cuts inside to fashion a shooting opportunity on his left, but drills a low effort the wrong side of the upright.
  • 7'
    Buitink is flagged for offside.
  • 4'
    Bazoer concedes a free-kick for a foul on Reguilon.
  • 2'
    Tottenham win the ball back straight from the goal kick and Son collects a pass on the edge of the area before a neat touch affords him the time and space to shoot just to the right of goal.
  • 2'
    The first thing to note is that Dier is playing as the central one of the three centre-backs with Romero on the right.
  • 1'
    Spurs get us going from left to right in their usual colour!! Vitesse in black and yellow!
Start of match

Start of match

  • PRVW
    Conte is introduced over the PA system. He applauds the fans and they respond with a deafening roar.
  • PRVW
    Hugo Lloris and Danilho Doekhi, the two captains, come together for the coin toss and we're about to start!
  • PRVW
    The teams make their way out here!
  • PRVW
    It's only a few minutes before kick-off... The players are getting ready in the tunnel!
  • PRVW
    Italian Marco Di Bello is the referee for this one. As you know, there will be no VAR available during the Conference League.
  • PRVW
    Spurs complete their warm-up. A few words of wisdom from Conte and then they will take to the field.
  • PRVW
    It's 7 degrees and clear in Arnhem for this one.
  • PRVW
    Warm-ups underway for both sides at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  • PRVW
    The first Spurs players make their way on to the pitch to warm up. The reception is certainly warmer than when they departed following Saturday's defeat by Manchester United.
  • PRVW
    Two changes for Vitesse from the side that won the reverse fixture. Darfalou and Openda, who impressed in that game, drop out with Buitink and Gboho coming in.
  • PRVW
    The selection would appear to indicate a switch to Conte's famous three at the back. Davies will most likely play as the left-sided centre-back alongside Romero and Dier. Reguilón will be the left wing-back with Emerson in a similar role on the right.
  • PRVW
    After all the speculation, there is only one change to the Spurs line-up from the side beaten here by Manchester United on Saturday in what proved to be Nuno's last game. Lo Celso drops to the bench with Reguilon coming in.
  • PRVW
    Vitesse bench: Van Haveren (GK), Houwen (GK); Oroz, Cornelisse, Hajek; Domgjoni, Vroegh, Huisman; Openda, Darfalou, Vonmoos, Yapi.
  • PRVW
    Spurs bench: Austin (GK), Gollini (GK); Sanchez, Matt Doherty, Tanganga, Rodon; Alli, Lo Celso, Winks; Scarlett, Bergwijn.
  • PRVW
    Vitesse XI: Schubert (GK); Wittek, Rasmussen, Doekhi; Tronstad, Bazoer, Buitnik, Bero, Dasa; Baden Frederick and Gboho.
