The last thing you should do against a team who have conceded once in the last 16 games is concede yourself inside 90 seconds. But that's exactly what Spurs did tonight against Juventus.
If there's one thing that Juventus are known for it's having a pretty solid defence. When the likes of Giorgio Chiellini and Gianluigi Buffon are protecting your goal it's no real surprise that you don't concede too many goals.
The Old Lady have been on a bit of a charge in Serie A and sit just one point behind league leaders Napoli. Tonight they faced Spurs in the Champions League, a competition they've twice finished runners up in in the last three seasons.

So if you were Spurs you'd probably want to avoid giving away a free kick in a dangerous area and a penalty in the opening 10 minutes.
In fact it took Juve and Gonzalo Higuain less than 90 seconds to open the scoring with a lovely free kick routine and splending finish:
Spurs would grab one back through Harry Kane but surely giving away two goals so early still isn't a good idea. Is the tie over already?
