Tottenham Hotspur suffered a home defeat at the hands of German side, RB Leipzig in the Uefa Champions League round of 16 first leg fixture.

Jose Mourinho's team were left hanging on a thread after losing 1-0 to the impressive German team. They risk crashing out of the UCL.

Last year's finalist, Spurs, will travel to Germany with the hopes that they can overturn the 1-0 deficit, a task that won't be easy.

The English team still remains without their attacking duo of Son Heung-min and Harry Kane who are victims of long-term injuries.

Timo Werner scored the only goal of the game in the 58th-minute after Leipzig were gifted a penalty.
