September 13, (THEWILL) – Sporting CP defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in Lisbon, thanks to an incredible late display in their UEFA Champions League fixture on Tuesday.

Spurs appeared content to accept a share of the points after their mainly lacklustre performance at the Estadio Jose Alvalade. However, the story took a turn in the closing minutes when Paulinho headed in a corner at the near post.

Sporting subsequently stamped the victory authoritatively in the third and final minute of stoppage time as debutant Arthur doubled their lead with a stunning individual effort.

Sporting now leads the group with six points after the victory, while Spurs, who last week defeated Marseille, are still on three points. The Champions League campaign for Sporting is continuing along perfectly. Spurs cannot assume that they will win Group D.

On Saturday, Sporting return to domestic football with a visit to Boavista while Spurs welcome Leicester to their stadium in the EPL.
