    A free-kick almost immediately for Tottenham. Christian Eriksen bends it in towards the near post and Son Heung-min stoops to head in. Son is flagged offside, though.

    Should Dele Alli have gone off? He is on a yellow card. A good show of faith in the youngster from Mauricio Pochettino.

    We are back under way.

    A change for Tottenham at the break as Tom Carroll goes off, with Mousa Dembele replacing him.

    Firorentina, surprisingly, remain unchanged.

    Fiorentina failed to manage a single shot on target in that half. Surely coach Paulo Sousa will have to change things for the second half?

    Meanwhile, it is all square in Denmark, with Pione Sisto cancelling out Memphis Depay's opener.

    At the other end, Mauro Zarate scoops a shot over from the edge of the area, the ball bouncing a little awkwardly as it came to him just on the edge of the area.

    One minute of added time.

    How much space are Fiorentina giving Ben Davies? They have already seen what he can do when he is allowed to get into the area, and the Spurs winger is left all alone when Dele Alli flicks the ball over the defence, Davies swings a cross in but it is just over Christian Eriksen's head.

    "An awful long way to go but I do think with what we have seen so far, even with Tottenham not at their best, they carry a reputation now and there are seeds of doubt in the Fiorentina players' heads."

    What will Fiorentina do now? They'd been very mindful of Tottenham's danger on the counter but that goal will surely force them to abandon the cautious approach. 

    Could be in for plenty of goals now.

    "Within three seconds, two gilt-edged chances for Fiorentina and a let off for Spurs."

    Huge chance!

    Fiorentina really should be ahead as Josip Ilicic swings the ball into the area and straight to the unmarked Federico Bernardeschi fluffs his volley, sending it away from goal but the hosts have another bite of the cherry through Mauro Zarate, who shoots wide from six yards.

    Apart from some lively skill in the fourth minute, we've not really seen much from Dele Alli. He perhaps knows he hasn't been involved as much as he would have liked as he lets his frustration get the better of him, tangling with Nenad Tomovic. The referee spots a little flick of Alli's foot when Tomovic tumbles to the ground and brandishes the yellow card.

    Good save from Ciprian Tatarusanu as Christian Eriksen picks up the ball 25 yards out, turns towards goal and smacks a dipping effort that the Fiorentina keeper has to push over.

    The game is just starting to show signs of opening up a bit now as Ben Davies gets into the Fiorentina area but his cross is blocked by Federico Bernaardeschi. At the other end, the visitors try to slip Borja Valero through, but Kevin Wimmer hacks clear.

    Are Fiorentina targeting Kieran Trippier? 

    Their early attacks were through Jakub Blaszczykowski on the right, but they have since attempted a couple of attacks down the left as Trippier is beaten and Ben Davies slices the cross behind for a corner. Borja Valero takes it, and the ball eventually falls to Blaszczykowski, whose effort is blocked.

    If I get through tonight without misspelling Blaszczykowski, I'll be happy.

    A shot! The first of the game with 17 minutes on the clock.

    It's rubbish, though, as Mauro Zarate launches the ball way up over the goal and into the stands.
