In this episode:

Lucas Bergvall has undergone surgery on his left ankle after suffering a high ankle sprain in Tuesday night’s Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund, with the midfielder now beginning his rehabilitation.

We also look at reports linking Spurs with a move for Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, as talks are understood to be underway amid the Scotland captain’s search for regular football ahead of the World Cup.

There’s a positive result for the Under-21s too, who secured a 2–1 away win at Stoke City on Friday evening. Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny opened the scoring before Rio Kyerematen struck late on to seal the victory.

And on This Day, we revisit Anthony Gardner’s move to Tottenham in 2000.

Tottenham respond in style on a big European night as Spurs beat Borussia Dortmund 2–0 in the Champions League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. First-half goals from Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke capped an intense, front-foot display, with Wilson Odobert heavily involved before Dortmund were reduced to ten men. The result puts Spurs in a strong position to qualify automatically for the knockout stages.
