Does this count as an assist for Gareth Bale? Yes, it does.
The Welsh wizard did all the hard work with a ball into the area that was diverted into the back of the net by LASK’s Andres Andrade.
Sergio Reguilon and Erik Lamela were also involved in the build-up and the way things are going it is highly likely that there will be more Spurs goals before this game is concluded.
Well, unless the unthinkable happens for a second game in a row.
By all accounts Arsenal have acquired a quality signing in Thomas Partey.
All eyes were on Gareth Bale in his first Spurs start since 2013, but it was Carlos Vinicius who stole the show on his debut.
The 25-year-old Brazilian can play alongside Harry Kane in attack and not just be his stand-in, said manager Jose Mourinho afterwards.
“He played well but can do better,” said the Portuguese boss. “Considering the circumstances and that it was his first match, I’m really happy. The only thing that was missing was one goal, but he’s much more than that.
“He’s not selfish and is a good target man. He can play with Kane when his good period arrives and won’t just be the guy to cover him. I am very happy.”

Unfortunately neither of us control team selection (yet!!)
Both beyond redemption for me now. Neither are anywhere near good enough.
And Bobby George at the back struggling with a hundredweight of gold chains and sovereign rings.
Please drop Sanchez and Serge for this one!
Play them at their own game against Burnley, hoof it up there and
Vini will score!
Is Vinicius more than just a reserve forward?
Miss the endearing late Jim Bowen and his catchphrase
Super, smashing, great
Didn’t know they had a football team tho. Bowen and Green up front I expect.
Granada? Ah yes they did Bullseye on a Sunday night. I still watch repeats sometimes. Absolutely awful but fabulous
That’s 2 assists for Vesuvius!
the Scorer, simply can’t keep out the news!
No guessing who?
It’s 3-0 home and hosed!
Hang on a sec!
With the likes of AC Milan, B Leverkusen, Grenada , Benfica, Roma plus
Glasgow Rangers & English sides performing in this competition winning this Ropey Cup aint no stroll in the park!!
Dear on dear BBC tweeter “At 2-0 Spurs aren’t safe after Sunday. I wouldn’t trust them to take my dog out – they can’t hang on to a lead”
