Their opponents goalkeeper the keeper fumbles the ball into the goal
Success is the manager's debut European match in charge
Thomas Frank savored a successful Champions League debut thanks to a costly error by the opposition keeper the keeper.
Under no pressure, the Villarreal player fumbled Lucas Bergvall's cross into his own net, giving Tottenham a ideal beginning.
It marked previously Brentford manager the coach's first fixture in the tournament, but his Tottenham side were tested at times before the break.
An important action by the defender stopped former Arsenal attacker the forward from finding the net, while Tajon Buchanan dragged a shot wide.
But an excellent stop by the keeper kept out Tottenham from getting a second when he blocked Sarr's strike.
The Spanish team came on strong in the latter period, but Tottenham stood firm to keep out them.
The Brazilian could have been more clinical with a opportunity as the team looked for a comfort goal, but ultimately it was superfluous.
This represented the outcome Spurs desired on their return to the European stage, but it was far from a flawless display.
The goalie's unfortunate blunder got the home crowd excited and could have been the platform for a commanding showing, but that was not the case.
Spurs' start to the term has been notable, with notable successes against the Hammers and the champions, but there was also a disappointing display in a loss to Bournemouth.
They showed more comparisons to that match with some weak passages of play and careless passes whenever they advanced.
Despite that, their backline was strong with the defender and Bentancur making vital tackles, notably in the final period.
Victory means the club are now unbeaten in their last 21 fixtures in their stadium in continental competitions.
