*Late Turnaround💪 Saves Spurs' UCL Campaign

Harry Kane inspired a turnaround in the final 12 minutes to transform Tottenham's Champions League outlook as they beat PSV 2-1 to move to within three points of second-placed Inter.

Spurs appeared to be doomed as they trailed for much of the Group B match, but they turned things around late on to capitalise on the Italian side dropping points at home to Barcelona.

An early Luuk de Jong header forced Spurs to throw caution to the wind and they racked up 30 shots, but, for the most part, they came up against an inspired goalkeeper in the shape of Jeroen Zoet.

Spurs' pressure eventually told in the 78th minute as Kane got the equaliser and he then had a major role in the winner as Trent Sainsbury deflected the England striker's header past the despairing Zoet, teeing up Mauricio Pochettino's men nicely for two huge clashes with Inter and Barcelona.

*Napoli & PSG🗼 Play Out Draw😑

Paris Saint-Germain squandered a chance to ignite their stuttering Champions League campaign as Napoli came from behind to earn a 1-1 home draw on Tuesday.

Lorenzo Insigne punished a Thiago Silva error from the penalty spot after 61 minutes to hand the Italian side leadership of Group C following Liverpool's earlier 2-0 loss to Red Star Belgrade, Napoli's next opponents.

Gianluigi Buffon, making his Champions League debut for PSG, had made several saves to preserve a lead earned by Juan Bernat, but his foul in attempting to atone for Silva's loose touch allowed his former Parma boss Carlo Ancelotti to have the last laugh.

Edinson Cavani's late introduction against his ex-employers failed to provide the inspiration PSG needed to convert a point into something more valuable to their hopes of advancing.

*Pogba🔈: I Have Normal Relationship with Mourinho👔*

Paul Pogba insists he is happy at Manchester United as he and Jose Mourinho defend what they say is a "typical" player-manager relationship.

Just over a month on from their 'frosty exchange' on the United training ground, the duo were seen shaking hands at Carrington on Tuesday ahead of flying out to play Pogba's former club Juventus in the Champions League.

"I would classify it as a good relationship between the coach and the player," Mourinho said, while Pogba added it is "the same way as everybody".

"I'm just the player, I do what he tells me to do because he's the boss, he's the manager. I listen and that's it. I enjoy it. I listen and do it with happiness."

Pogba insists Mourinho's decision to strip him of the vice-captaincy at Manchester United "did not affect" him.

"I'm still playing and I'm happy to play," he said. "The manager is the one who chooses who will be captain.

"If he takes the armband it doesn't change anything for me - I just want to play, perform, that's my job and give my best for everybody, for the fans the club, that's it.

"It didn't affect me. Nothing changed really."

*Colorado Elects 👏 First Openly Gay Governor in US 🇺🇸 History*

Colorado elected the first openly gay governor in US history on Tuesday.

Democrat Jared Polis, a congressman from the state’s second district, received 51 percent of the vote compared with state treasurer Walker Stapleton’s 45 percent.

Polis mentioned his support for gay rights on the campaign trail.

“I think it really gives Colorado an opportunity to stick a thumb in the eye of Mike Pence, whose view of America is not as inclusive as where America is today,” Polis said during a speech this year.

Polis is the first gay person elected to the position. Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey came out as gay while in office in 2004.

*Triple H Posts 📲Painful Photo After WWE Crown🤕 Jewel Injury-*

Triple H suffered a serious injury at WWE Crown Jewel and revealed the toll it has taken out of his body with a shocking photo on his personal Twitter account.

The Game tore his pectoral muscle in Saudi Arabia where he reformed D-Generation X with the returning Shawn Michaels and defeated The Undertaker as well as Kane in a Tag Team Match.

The King of Kings is set to undergo surgery on Wednesday but first gave the WWE Universe an update of his condition as he posted a picture of his injury on social media.

The Cerebral Assassin’s right pec and arm are totally bruised but his confidence hasn’t been affected as he prepares to go under the knife.

He captioned the photo with: “Surgery in the AM...

“… Makes you stronger.”

Triple H picked up the win for his team at the King Saud University Stadium with a Pedigree on Kane but it was Michaels who saved the match for DX.

Undertaker and Kane were close to victory when they set both their opponents up for the Tombstone Piledriver.

However, The Heartbreak Kid thumbed Kane in the eye and then hit both of his opponents with Sweet Chin Music.

*WWE’s Statement🔊 on Jose Lothario Passing⚰ Away*

NWA Hall of Famer Jose Lothario has passed away at the age of 83. WWE issued the following statement on Lothario’s passing:

Jose Lothario reportedly passes away 
WWE is saddened to learn that Jose Lothario has reportedly passed away at age 83.

Despite never winning a WWE-sanctioned championship or competing at WrestleMania, Jose Lothario – born Guadalupe Robledo on Dec. 12, 1934 – made a lasting mark on the WWE Universe by simply agreeing to train a cocky teenager from San Antonio, Texas. A cocky teenager that grew up to become WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.

Lothario helped HBK find his footing for a career between the ropes, from selecting Shawn Michaels as a ring name to teaching The Showstopper how to effectively perform the signature kick that came to be known as Sweet Chin Music. HBK soaked up every last lesson taught by Lothario, a Saturday morning staple for wrestling fans of a certain age from the Lone Star State.

“I think every young boy who lived in Texas knew who Jose Lothario was,” Michaels told WWE Magazine in 1996. “I first saw him on TV when I was 12. He was the first Superstar to come across my screen. He is a legend in San Antonio, Cuba, Mexico… just about everywhere!”

Their relationship reached the summit at WrestleMania XII, when Lothario – having helped Michaels break into the business nearly 15 years earlier – watched from ringside as HBK realized his boyhood dream of becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Bret “Hit Man” Hart in an unforgettable WWE 60-Minute Iron Man Match.
