Marseille defender Chancel Mbemba drew the first blood on Tuesday evening against Tottenham Hotspur, but that eventually did not bear any fruitful result, with the goals from Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Clément Lenglet completing a comeback for Antonio Conte’s side.

“Football is like that. We dominated in the first half. And then, in the second half, it was Tottenham… We had to stay together to manage our game well.
