Spurs stay in the hunt for trophy treble

Tottenham remain in the hunt for three trophies this season after leaving Italy with a hard-fought draw in their Europa League round of 32 tie against Fiorentina.

Nacer Chadli had put Spurs ahead with a dubious penalty before Federico Bernardeschi’s deflected second-half effort sealed a closely-contested 1-1 stalemate — which leaves both sides fancying their chances in the return leg next week.

Dele Alli was again inspirational, especially in the opening half, but he was also lucky to avoid a red card for a kick aimed at a Fiorentina defender.
