Premier League heavyweights Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League Matchday 5 fixture witnessed mixed reactions from club fans after Jose Mourinho's men were held by LASK away from home. Despite the thrilling encounter which ended in a 3-3 draw, the north London-based outfit succeeded in a Round of 32 Europa League qualification with a group stage game yet to be played.

Europa League results: Tottenham held by LASK

Tottenham travelled to Austria to take on LASK in an attempt to secure a spot in the knockout stage of the competition. A point was all that was needed for Mourinho's men to edge past the group stage and the north Londoners succeed in it, although the manager was left embarrassed with the scoreline. 

Despite conceding first, with Peter Michorl bagging the opener, Gareth Bale equalised from the spot, in the extra time of the first half. Besides, Son Heung-min put the Premier League side in the front in the second half. Johannes Eggestein, however, succeeded in bagging the equaliser, only for Dele Alli to again bag the lead within two minutes from the spot.

Although it appeared that Spurs were heading towards a victory with the injury time in play, LASK went on to bag the equaliser again, much to Mourinho's embarrassment. Mamoudou Karamoko scored the third goal for his side to salvage a point from the draw, but could not ensure a Round of 32 Europa League qualification, even as Spurs sit second in the Europa League standings.
