Hoffenheim are in danger of dropping out of the Europa League at the league stage after their fifth consecutive game without a win. The Bundesliga club lost 2:3 at home to Tottenham on Thursday.

Son Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham beat Hoffenheim 3-2 in the Europa League. The South Korea star struck in each half at PreZero Arena to help ease the pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs collected a welcome if uncomfortably fraught win in the Europa League after running into a Hoffenheim side every bit as daft as they are.

There were players in lilywhite collapsing to the turf and stretching out tired muscles. Utterly exhausted and nerves shredded.
