Loaned out Leeds United man makes big European impact as Archie Gray enjoys new Spurs first
A loaned out Leeds man has made a big European impact - but with a twist.
Leeds United loanee Rasmus Kristensen made a big Europa League impact as part of an evening in which Archie Gray came through his latest Tottenham test and personal Spurs first.
Danish international right-back Kristensen is on a season-long loan at Eintracht Frankfurt and started Thursday evening’s Europa League hosting of Viktoria Plzen.
With 67 minutes on the clock, Kristensen fired home through a crowded penalty area to put his side 3-1 up and seemingly on course for victory only for the visitors to net twice in the closing stages to seal a 3-3 draw.
Nevertheless, it meant Kristensen’s first goal for Eintracht ensured that his side avoided defeat on a night when departed former Leeds star Archie Gray played the full match for Tottenham in a 3-0 triumph at home to Qarabag.
The outing represented just a second Spurs start for Gray and a European competition debut.
