GOAL! Goncalo Ramos powers it straight down the middle!

Champions League winners PSG rallied from 2-0 down in the 85th minute to defeat Europa League victors Spurs in Udine, Italy Paris Saint-German lift the UEFA Super Cup. Getty Images Getty Images Tottenham: 2 ✅✅ - - - PSG: 1 ❌✅ - - - Wow. Sledgehammer of a right foot, high and central. Bang. Getty Images Tottenham: 2 ✅✅ - - - PSG: 0 ❌ - - - - Fine penalty, this time to the other side. No fuss, no frills. Getty Images Tottenham: 1 ✅ - - - - PSG: 0 ❌ - - - - Vitinha misses! Vicario goes the wrong way but Vitinha never took his eyes off him and shovels it wide right of the goal, taking a nick off the post. Advantage Tottenham. Getty Images Tottenham: 1 ✅ - - - - PSG: 0 - - - - - Top right corner off a short run up. Chevalier got a slight wrist on it and smiled wryly afterwards. Getty Images Thomas Frank gathers Spurs players in a huddle and delivers a quick speech before set-piece coach Andreas Georgson takes over and dishes out a few instructions. Huge roar from the Spurs fans when they realise the penalties will be taken in front of them and they start chanting Vicario's name. Getty Images FT: PSG 2-2 Tottenham What a beautiful cross from Ousmane Dembele, who was probably onside by the thickness of his PSG shirt. As for his smile the moment he saw Goncalo Ramos head home? He looked like someone who could not believe his side was back level. It was amazing that at this point, it was Spurs who looked dead on their feet. Getty Images That Romero knock is the last moment of the match! To penalties we go. 90+6' PSG 2-2 Tottenham PSG and resting on laurels just don't go together. They throw numbers forward, full-back Hakimi wins a throw-in right in the Spurs corner. I reckon we have a couple of minutes left. Lifted into the Spurs box, superb from Danso and Romero brings it out coolly. Then Romero goes down, again, with an apparent injury. Hot day? Definitely. Is cramp a possibility? Definitely. Would he be doing that if Spurs were losing? Debatable. Getty Images 90+5' PSG 2-2 Tottenham Hakimi nudges it down the line to Ousmane Dembele, outside of the foot, Djed Spence a half-step off the forward. Wonderful cross from Dembele, hard and fast and well-aimed across the six-yard box. Ramos is perfectly positioned to power the header home. Penalties incoming, seemingly. Unless a late winner is in the offing! Getty Images 90+4' PSG 2-2 Tottenham There it is! In front of the PSG supporters! Goncalo Ramos stuns Tottenham deep into stoppage time! 90+2' PSG 1-2 Tottenham A reminder that if PSG equalise, there will be no half-hour of extra time tonight. Instead, we will go straight to penalties, like in the Community Shield between the Premier League and FA Cup winners. 90+1' PSG 1-2 Tottenham Off comes Pape Matar Sarr, who has emptied the tank, for 19-year-old Lucas Bergvall. SIX minutes of time added on. Can PSG conjure an equaliser? 89' PSG 1-2 Tottenham Nuno Mendes shoots from outside the box, similar position from which Lee scored, deflected and over. Cristian Romero goes down as if he's injured. It seems to be a pretty clear delaying tactic from the Argentine, who is pulled to his feet. He's fine. PSG want a penalty as Kevin Danso puts a stray arm across Ibrahim Mbaye, who tests him round the outside, but there's nowhere near enough in that. We play on. Getty Images 89' PSG 1-2 Tottenham I have to say, PSG have created more than I expected them to in this second half. That goal is only their second shot on target all match, but the stats don't really display the encouraging moments they've had in front of goal since going 2-0 down. All too often it's been a slightly misplaced pass, a wrong option or a well-placed defender. Had that Lee Kang-in goal just come a bit sooner, it would be easier to envision an equaliser. Right now, time feels against PSG. Getty Images 87' PSG 1-2 Tottenham PSG's ultras behind the Tottenham goal are bouncing now, a red flare sending wisps of smoke onto the pitch. They are as loud as they've been the whole night! Getty Images 86' PSG 1-2 Tottenham Now we have a game! Lee Kang-in, the substitute from South Korea, picked the ball up outside the box and arrowed it superbly into the bottom-right corner past the dive of Vicario. Such a good strike, clean as a whistle. And out of nothing that's a lifeline for the Champions League winners! Getty Images 85' PSG 1-2 Tottenham It's game on in Udine! 82' PSG 0-2 Tottenham Lee takes the free kick himself, it hits Porro, who yells out in pain and goes down as if it's smacked him in the face and is a head injury. The referee stops play. Replays show the ball hit him in the shoulder. Goncalo Ramos points that out with a wry smile. Porro points to his cheek. Didn't hit him there! PSG are frustrated with that, and understandably so. Getty Images 81' PSG 0-2 Tottenham Mohammed Kudus, who started so well but has faded slightly, is off for Mathys Tel. Vitinha undoubtedly annoys manager Luis Enrique by shooting considerably over from about 40 yards out. Tel gives away a free kick right on the edge of the box as he clumsily goes through the back of Lee...
