Tottenham came from behind to draw their Europa Conference League opener at Rennes.

In a game where the momentum swung throughout, Nuno Espirito Santo's side opened the scoring when Lucas Moura's low cross was deflected into his own net by Rennes defender Loic Bade.

The hosts pushed for an equaliser after going behind and found a breakthrough when Flavien Tait played a quick one-two with Serhou Guirassy, before curling past Pierluigi Gollini from the edge of the box.

Rennes had the better chances in the second half and took the lead on 72 minutes through a close-range Gaetan Laborde finish.

Substitute Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg found the bottom corner from Matt Doherty's cross four minutes later to rescue a point for a much-changed Spurs side.

Dutch side Vitesse and Slovenia's NS Mura join Spurs and Rennes in Group G.
