CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev's run of futility in the Champions League has now extended to a remarkable 43 matches.
The Russian shot-stopper came into Wednesday's clash against Tottenham having not kept a clean sheet in Europe's top competition since 2006 - a run of 42 games - and it was extended late in the opening half, when Dele Alli notched a 38th-minute goal off a Christian Eriksen cross.
Akinfeev conceded another shortly after, with Harry Kane finding the net.
