Half-Time Report: Tottenham Hotspur pegged back by Anderlecht in Brussels

Anderlecht and Tottenham Hotspur are locked at 1-1 in their Europa League group-stage meeting after Guillaume Gillet cancelled out Christian Eriksen's opener.

Tottenham Hotspur have let slip a one-goal lead to head into half time level at 1-1 with Anderlecht in their Europa League group-stage meeting.

Christian Eriksen fell at the vital moment to see an early chance pass him by, but there was no denying the midfielder moments later as he capitalised on a poor clearance to fire home the opener.

Kara Mbodj smashed his attempted punt into Leander Dendoncker, with the ball falling nicely for Eriksen to score his first European goal since March 2014.

The Danish international was close to bagging a second with just 10 minutes on the clock, only for his free kick to deflect the wrong side of the post.

Despite being second best in the opening stages, the hosts were able to level things up through Guillaume Gillet's rifled effort into the bottom corner.

Anderlecht thought they were in for a second soon after only for Toby Alderweireld to deny Stefano Okaka, while Hugo Lloris also had to be alert to deny the lively striker.

Erik Lamela was the next player to come close to adding the game's third goal, yet the offside flag was raised to rule out his strike, before Andros Townsend curled one wide in the last attacking move of the half.
