Igor Tudor showed his anger at the decision to allow Atletico Madrid's equalising goal during the Champions League clash. Tottenham are looking to complete a comeback from a 5-2 deficit in the second leg.

Hope at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was raised in the first half when Rendal Kolo Muani gave Spurs a 1-0 lead on the night.

But they were dashed again just two minutes into the second half when Julian Alvarez equalised for Atletico. Spurs complained about a foul on Xavi Simons in the build-up to the goal, with Tudor shouting towards the fourth official.

There was a VAR check after the goal, but it was concluded that there was no foul in the build-up.

Atletico weren't level for long though, with Simons getting his revenge by finding the net in stunning fashion in the 52nd minute. That made it 2-1 on the night and 4-6 on aggregate.
