Tottenham Hotspur cruised past Austrian side LASK Linz 3-0 in their Europa League Group J tie at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs never looked in trouble and controlled the game throughout the 90 minutes, taking the lead when Lucas Moura latched on to debutant Carlos Vinicius’ square pass to slot past goalkeeper Alexander Schlager on 18 minutes.
Making his first start since joining Spurs, Gareth Bale helped Spurs double their lead when his cross was redirected into the LASK goal by defender Andres Andrade to make it 2-0, in the 27th minute
In the second-half, Jose Mourinho's side added a third when Vinicius made another assist to set up substitute Son Heung-min to secure the three points.
Spurs top Group J level with Antwerp. The Belgian side travelled to Bulgaria and beat Ludogorets 2-1.
Foxes started Europa League in great style
Leicester opened their Europa League campaign with a 3-0 win over Ukrainian side Zorya at the King Power Stadium.
The scoreline perhaps flattered Leicester, however, as the visitors threatened Kasper Schmeichel's goal on several occasions.
After a sloppy start, Brendan Rodgers' side took the lead inside 30 minutes thanks to James Maddison's simple finish after Harvey Barnes' shot had struck the inside of the post. Barnes doubled Leicester's lead with a great finish on the stroke of half-time.
The Foxes improved in the second-half and Kelechi Iheanacho added to two assists with the hosts' third goal to put the game beyond Zorya.
Victory means Leicester top Group G alongside SC Braga, who beat Greek side AEK 3-0 at home.
