Heung-min Son, dropped for the first time this season having failed to score in the first 8 games, gave the best possible answer to his critics with a sensational hat-trick. The first two were Son goals of the finest vintage, scored with his right and left feet respectively in opposite corners of Danny Ward’s net. The third was initially flagged offside but allowed following VAR’s review. It was Son’s first hat-trick since a 4-0 win at Villa Park in April and his fourth club hat-trick in all. This fixture has a habit of offering many goals and after four first half goals were matched in the second, this was no exception. The game was one of an open nature, but at half-time Leicester were level following a re-taken penalty and an excellent goal by James Maddison.

Brendan Rodgers’ side remains rooted at the bottom of the table and has conceded 22 goals already. Today’s headlines refer to pressure on the much-admired coach’s job. As for Spurs, they march on, still unbeaten in the league and level on points with leaders Manchester City before today’s Arsenal game at Brentford. We are in a healthy position going into the international break......

Sporting had never won their first two Champions League group games, Spurs hadn’t lost any of their last 13 games and were without a win in five away games in Europe. Something had to give. Unfortunately it was Spurs, who having had more chances in the first 80 minutes of the game, failed to capitalise and succumbed to late pressure and two very late goals by Sporting.

In the Sporting side, of course, was a certain Marcus Edwards, whose career began with the Spurs academy, but who was allowed to leave Tottenham three years ago. Edwards’ pace and trickery proved to be more of a threat than did Spurs’ chances which tested the home goalkeeper more than Sporting did Hugo Lloris. Lloris had to make three excellent saves during the game – one from Edwards – but his third, and best save led to the corner from which substitute Paulinho (no, not that one) scored a 90th minute goal. Most of the three minutes added time seemed to be taken up by celebrations and two substitutions, one of whom scored a 93rd minute winner. Spurs went home with their tails between their legs.......

I have been kicked black and blue – more appropriately, red, white and blue – for supporting the Premier League in their decision to call off the weekend's football out of respect to the death and memory of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

Call me old fashioned, but I am from a generation that believes in the dignity and decency of mourning, and having mobs of committed football fans screaming their obscenities within moments of a minute's silence is not my idea of respect.

You would honestly trust a capacity football crowd to sing the National Anthem without idiots wrecking it? Honestly? You have more faith than me, then...........

£60 million signing Richarlison has already impressed Spurs fans with virtually every move he has made when given the opportunity so far this season. He sealed his place in their hearts with a super headed late second half double. These were his first competitive Spurs goals and of course his Champions League debut goals. Richarlison showed high emotion, and I understand his father was in the stadium.

Spurs were playing their first home game in the Champions League since an ill-fated meeting with Leipzig in February, 2020. All 10 outfield starters then were different from tonight’s team. Tottenham and its hostelries had seemed fairly quiet, but there was a good house who did their best to offer an all-white and noisy atmosphere at least for the opening of the game. Marseille did not bring a full contingent of fans, but there was a massive security operation around Tottenham pre-match and those fans were noisy throughout the match. There were skirmishes with stewards and neighbouring home fans once the first goal was scored. The return fixture in November will be tasty on and off the field, I fear..........

Antonio Conte made five changes to his team after the West Ham game with Romero returning for Sanchez, Lenglet replacing Davies, Bentancur back in place of Bissouma and Richarlison getting a welcome start in Kulusevski’s right wing slot. Ryan Sessegnon took over from Perisic at left wing-back. Richarlison had a smashing game and thought he had sealed the win with a 90th minute goal, but VAR saw that disallowed, as it had a Spurs effort early in the game. Spurs also hit the woodwork twice and had far more shots on target than did Fulham. Despite that, we were made to sweat a bit after Mitrovic scored a very good goal late in the day, and also forced an excellent save from Hugo Lloris with another shot which was deflected towards goal........

The most epic thread on The Spurs Odyssey message board was one which started in 2010. This provided the history of our new stadium applications (including the thankfully unsuccessful bid for the Olympic Stadium) right up to the present day with images of the completed new stadium. In the early hours of Saturday 20th October, 2018, our stadium thread reached 1,000 pages! There is a genuine community feel about the board, which is moderated.

Every Spurs match is covered with excellent threads, which feature images and stats from previous games. There is so much to enjoy about the message board which also has an off-topic section where non-football matters are discussed.

There is also a great archive of filed material with links to some great Spurs history and goals.

If you would like to become even more involved, then please e-mail me (webmaster@spursodyssey.com) stating your full name, address (Town and Country will suffice!) and desired user name, and I will do the rest.

I look forward to hearing from you!
