Tottenham Hotspur Falls to Galatasaray in Europa League

Tottenham Hotspur faced their first defeat in the Europa League this season, losing 3-2 to Galatasaray, with manager Ange Postecoglou attributing the loss to a poor first-half performance. The Lilywhites fell behind 3-1 at halftime, with Victor Osimhen scoring twice, while Will Lankshear managed to equalize before receiving a red card. Postecoglou praised Lankshear's efforts despite the sending-off and emphasized the team's need for growth from this experience. Additionally, striker Richarlison is set to miss a significant amount of time due to a hamstring injury, further straining the squad already dealing with multiple injuries. Postecoglou remains hopeful for the return of Cristian Romero in the upcoming match against Ipswich Town. The manager noted the team's lack of composure and wastefulness with possession, which allowed Galatasaray to capitalize on their mistakes.
