Spurs Dominate Europa League Opener 3-0 Against Qarabag Despite Early Red Card and Son Heung-min Injury Scare"

Tottenham kicked off their Europa League campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Qarabag, even after playing over 80 minutes with just ten men following Radu Dragusin’s early red card. Goals from Brennan Johnson, Pape Sarr, and Dominic Solanke secured the win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, the match took a concerning turn when Son Heung-min had to leave the pitch in the 70th minute due to fatigue. Manager Ange Postecoglou expressed worry over the potential impact on his team, which is aiming for silverware in the tournament.

After a sluggish start, Spurs quickly found their rhythm and took the lead in the 12th minute with Johnson's goal, followed by Sarr's volley from a corner. Qarabag's struggles continued as they missed a penalty before Solanke sealed the victory late in the game.

In other matches, Roma were held to a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao, while Mourinho's Fenerbahce won 2-1 against Union Saint-Gilloise, and Ajax cruised to a 4-0 triumph over Besiktas.
