Pacos have nicked Norwich City's kit. They've just won a free-kick which has forced Spurs on the back-foot but normal business is quickly resumed as the hosts pour forward.

It's one-way traffic.

Kane looks really up for this.

Harry Winks has also impressed in the opening exchanges.

Nuno Espirito Santo will be delighted with what he has seen.

So it's all level on aggregate.

With a match at home to Watford on Sunday, Spurs will be hoping it does not come to this but if the scores are level on aggregate after 90 minutes, we'll have an additional 30 minutes of extra time.

Penalties will decide the winners if the score is level after 120 minutes.

I've got a feeling we won't need them.

Decent by Giovani Lo Celso who finds himself in some space and digs out a shot from outside the box but it drifts over the bar.

A nervy start by Spurs keeper Pierluigi Gollini who has gifted Pacos an early corner before giving the Portuguese visitors possession with a sloppy pass.

By the way, there was a bit of confusion at kick-off.

One or two Spurs players looked as though they were about to take the knee when the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

In the end no players ended up making the gesture.

Almost a dream start for Spurs and Kane.

Spurs mean business!

15 seconds on the clock and Harry Kane is charging towards goal. He takes one lovely touch before lifting it narrowly wide.

The fans loved that!

And away we go!

The England captain leads Spurs onto the pitch.

A fan holds up a sign.

'Harry Kane Please Can I Have Your Shirt'.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is far from full. The top tiers of this wonderful ground are closed but there's still a decent noise from those who have turned up.

Will Spurs turn it around? Here come the teams...

There's only one story in town as far as Spurs are concerned - and Gareth Southgate has been having his say about Harry Kane's decision to stay.

"I haven’t spoken directly to Harry, from the Euro 2020 final through until yesterday," said the England boss earlier.

"I was just checking with him whether he would be playing tonight.

"He obviously has had a lot going on, but the good thing from our perspective is that seems settled.

"I’m sure he is now relieved that there is some finality to that decision and he can concentrate on his football again."

Daniel Levy was determined to hold Harry Kane to his contract, which still has three years to run, yet he would have had a tough call to make if keeping Kane meant opposing his own fans.

But by proclaiming Kane as "one of our own" at Wolves last weekend, the Tottenham fans signalled their willingness to forget the England skipper's barely concealed desire to leave.

The can may just be being kicked down the road to subsequent transfer windows of course. After all, Kane is unlikely to become less ambitious over time.

Tottenham Hotspur

817 days since Spurs were lining up in the Champions League final.

Since then they've sacked Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho.

Now they're got to beat a team that sits 12th in Portugal's Primeira League to make it to the group stage of the Europa Conference League.

Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to Premier Sports: "It's a very important game. We have to approach it the right way."

On Harry Kane starting: "He is progressing on his fitness and is ready to help the team. This is the right moment (for him to start). Playing is the best way to improve."

Spurs are in a transition, they haven’t delivered trophies. With the club not doing well last season, they do not want to sell their star player, it doesn’t look good.

Harry Kane won’t be pleased but he’s an ultimate professional.

He gets his head down, sets examples for the rest of the players and will continue with his football scoring goals, and then a window will come later down the line and things could be different.

Harry Kane staying is not just good news for Spurs - it's also a shot in the arm for Uefa's new Europa Conference League.

Should Tottenham advance, England's captain is set to feature in the group stage of Europe's third-tier club tournament.

There are six group games pencilled in for 16 & 30 September, 21 October, 4 & 25 November and 9 December.

The draw for the group stage is tomorrow from 12:30 BST in Istanbul, Turkey.
