Antonio Conte witnessed the size of the task he faces as Tottenham head coach on a chaotic opening night in charge as his new side resurrected their Europa Conference League aspirations with a thrilling 3-2 win over nine-man Vitesse.

Heung-Min Son (14), Lucas Moura (22) and a Jacob Rasmussen own goal (28) had put Spurs in total control, but after Rasmussen headed in from a corner to reduce the deficit (32), Matus Bero added a second for the visitors before the interval (39).

There were no goals in the second half, but three red cards ensured there was no shortage of drama as Cristian Romero was sent off for a second bookable offence (59) before Vitesse defender Danilho Doekhi (81) and goalkeeper Markus Schubert (84) received their marching orders.

The result leaves Spurs second in Group G as they leapfrogged Vitesse while Rennes’ 1-0 victory over Mura ensured the Ligue 1 club still sit in first place. (AF)
