Credit: Imago Thu 19 March 2026 13:30, UK Tottenham Hotspur have seen their chances of surviving the Premier League drop boosted after they beat Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. The Lilywhites were knocked out of the Champions League on aggregate, but won 3-2 on the night to halt a run of eight consecutive matches without victory in all competitions.Randal Kolo Muani and Xavi Simons were the scorers on the night, with the latter completing his brace with a late penalty to cancel out goals from Julian Alvarez and David Hancko.Wednesday’s positive result marks a second promising performance from Igor Tudor’s men, who fought well to earn a late point against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.While certainly a turn for the better, Tottenham’s form will need to be translated into Premier League wins if they are to steer clear of the relegation zone.
