Atletico Madrid beat english Premier League side Tottenham 1-0 in the International Champions Cup in Melbourne, Australia on Friday

It was English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur versus La Liga's Atletico Madrid. in the International Champions Cup - at the MCG on Friday.

In this pre-season encounter down-under, it was the English club who dominated early on.

Spurs striker Josh Onomah's thunderous volley crashed against the crossbar with just nine minutes gone...
...and little over ten minutes later Argentina's Erik Lamela hit the post from 12-yards.

Despite their early dominance , it was a mistake by the Spurs defence which proved costly.

Anton Walkes poor headed clearance from an Atletico free-kick allowed Diego Godin to tap in five minutes before half-time.

The restart saw Mauricio Pochettino's men press for an equaliser. But they found Atletico's Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak in inspired form.

He needed strong hands to deny Ryan Mason on the hour mark
...and then impressive reflexes to keep out Vincent Janssen minutes later.

It finished 1-0 to the Spanish club. And the Champions League finalists demonstrating what an accomplished side they are under Diego Simeone.
