Lucien Favre Laments Borussia Dortmund's 'Gift' to Spurs in 0-3 Champions League Loss

Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre claimed his side provided a 'gift' for Tottenham's opening goal as the current Bundesliga leaders lost the first-leg of their Champions League last 16 tie 3-0.

After having the better of the first-half, goals after half-time from Son Heung-min, Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Llorente secured an emphatic first-leg win for the Premier League side ahead of the second-leg on 5 March.

Speaking after the game to the club's official website, Favre admitted conceding two minutes after the restart was far from ideal, with the goal leading to a poor second-half display from his side.
