Spurs went ahead at the Bernabeu through a 28th-minute own goal fromĀ Raphael Varane, but Cristiano Ronaldo levelled from the penalty spot just before half-time.
In an open second half, only a string of brilliant saves from both goalkeepers, Keylor Navas and Hugo Lloris, prevented further goals.
Spurs would have been the happier of the sides at the final whistle having held out for an away point with an impressive performance, per Spanish football writer Dermot Corrigan:
City were 2-0 ahead inside 13 minutes againstĀ Maurizio Sarri's Napoli, withĀ Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus both turning home from close range.
Ederson then kept the two-goal cushion intact as he savedĀ Dries Mertens' first-half penalty, but he could not keep outĀ Amadou Diawara's effort from the spot 17 minutes from time.
City held on for all three points, and Napoli could now struggle to get out of the group afterĀ Shakhtar Donetsk's win at Feyenoord on Tuesday.Ā
Liverpool broke a record with their hammering of Maribor, per Opta:
It was a stunning performance from Jurgen Klopp's men. MohamedĀ Salah and Roberto Firmino both netted doubles and Philippe Coutinho was on the scoresheet in the first half, while late goals fromĀ Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain andĀ Trent Alexander-Arnold added gloss to the result.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the night was Spartak Moscow's 5-1 thumping of Sevilla.
The Russian outfit were rampant as they netted four goals in the second half after going in 1-1 at half-time, with Dutch wingerĀ Quincy Promes particularly impressive, per Squawka:
Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund endured a disappointing evening in Group H as they could only draw 1-1 withĀ APOEL.Ā Ā
