Tottenham suffered their second International Champions Cup defeat of the week as they went down 1-0 to Atletico Madrid in Melbourne.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side, beaten 2-1 by Juventus on Tuesday, lost to last season’s Champions League finalists by virtue of a first-half goal from Diego Godin.
Spurs looked livelier in attack than they had against Juve and hit the crossbar and post in the first half before Godin prodded in what proved to be the winner five minutes before the break.
Jan Oblak made two fine saves in the second half, but Atleti began to assume some control as the match wore on, as Pochettino and Diego Simeone made a number of substitutions.
