With 10 minutes or so to go, Tottenham were almost impossibly comfortable. In what was a must-win Champions League game they led 2-1 and the only mystery was how they were not out of sight. The PSV goalkeeper, Jeroen Zoet, had kept his side in it.
Yet Mauricio Pochettino’s team have shown themselves to be quite capable of throwing away European wins. Remember last season, when two concessions inside three second-half minutes against Juventus turned progress into elimination? More recently, there was the opening game of this campaign at Internazionale. Leading 1-0, they crashed 2-1 late on.
