Milan playmaker Brahim Diaz scored his first goal since October – a rebounded finish from close-range – as Antonio Conte’s Tottenham side suffered consecutive defeats for the second time already in 2023 with a frustrating collective showing in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. The return fixture might be in three weeks’ time, but they’ll have to execute with far more incision than they managed here if they’re to advance into the quarter-finals.
