After being withdrawn in midweek, Messi wasn’t expected to play any part on Saturday evening, and it was down to Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to lead the line for Mauricio Pochettino’s charges.
However, the opening goal came from a rather unexpected source as Idrissa Gueye found the net after 14 minutes of play with a powerfully struck effort into the roof of the net.
