Half-Time Report: Tottenham Hotspur in control against AEL Limassol

A strike from Harry Kane in the 45th minute puts Tottenham Hotspur on the brink of reaching the group stages of the Europa League in their tie against AEL Limassol.

Tottenham Hotspur are in control of their Europa League clash against AEL Limassol as they lead 1-0 on the night at White Hart Lane and 3-1 on aggregate in the tie.

Spurs were handed the chance to take the lead when Kyle Naughton was brought down in the area by AEL keeper Karim Fegrouch and a penalty was awarded. The keeper was hurt in the incident and stretchered off after a lengthy delay.

Harry Kane took the spot kick for the home side but saw his powerful effort saved by substitute stopper Pulpo Romero.

Kane was denied again minutes later by the keeper as he drove right through the middle of the AEL defence, but saw his shot from the edge of the area beaten away by Romero.

Mauricio Pochettino's side were continuing to press in the final third as Mousa Dembele showed great control to trap a ball on the edge of the box, but his shot went just wide of the post.

Kane atoned for his earlier mistake from the spot in the 45th minute when he fired his side ahead as Spurs capitalised on a mistake, and the striker slotted the ball past Romero with ease when presented with the chance.
