LONDON (Reuters) -Ten-man Tottenham Hotspur secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Azerbaijani side Qarabag in their opening Europa League group stage clash on Thursday after the match was delayed by over half an hour due to travel disruptions.

Spurs were reduced to 10 men after eight minutes when Radu Dragusin was shown a red card, but four minutes later Brennan Johnson put the English side ahead with a side-footed finish and Pape Matar Sarr doubled the lead seven minutes after the break.
