The dust is beginning to settle on the first evening of matchweek 3 in the Champions League with Tottenham taking a point against Bayer Leverkusen.

In a game that was truly of two halves both sides will have to say a point was fair.

Spurs started brightly with Vincent Janssen seeing a goal chalked off for offside before he also hit the bar whilst Dele Alli could and perhaps should have scored with a close range effort from his head.

In the second half the likes of Javier Hernandez really should have helped Leverkusen score as they grew into the game but the Mexican and his team-mates found an inspired Hugo Lloris between the sticks for the London club.

A decent point in the end, then, for Spurs as it leaves them second in the group with two home games to play at Wembley and here are five pictures that help sum it all up...

 Frustrating first half for Spurs

Tottenham had a number of chances to take the lead in the first half but simply couldn't get the ball in the net. The one time they did saw Vincent Janssen offside whilst the Dutch international also smacked the bar with a header. Dele Alli could have bagged a header too but put it wide from close range.

 Leverkusen play-acting

Leverkusen, it has to be said, did see some of their players go down fairly softly at times during the game.

Javier Hernandez was just one player to hit the deck whenever he had a chance and that started to grate on the Spurs players. To their credit, they kept their cool pretty well despite obvious frustration and that'll be key to their chances this season in the competition.

 Lloris on top form

As if we needed a reminder as to how good Hugo Lloris was he duly put in another great performance.

A string of great saves, particularly in the second half impressed but there was one in particular that will live long in the memory. A low ball into the far post was turned towards the goal by Javier Hernandez and it looked destined for the net but for the Frenchman's quick work to scramble across and deny him. An amazing save.

 Janssen continues to struggle

You have to feel for Vincent Janssen. He's already got the unenviable task of trying to replicate Harry Kane's form up front from Spurs and he's struggling for form. He doesn't have much luck too after hitting the cross-bar in the first half and that soon seemed to take it's toll as he faded from the game.

He was replaced by Mousa Dembele in the second half and his presence wasn't really missed.

 Draw a fair result

After Spurs were the better side in the first-half Leverkusen duly struck back and could have won the game themselves in the second. Hugo Lloris kept them in the game before, in the closing minutes, both sides appeared to have tired each other out. It was a pretty evenly matched contest in the end but Spurs will no doubt be the happier side with the point.
