ANGE POSTECOGLOU’S reshuffled defence produced an almighty stinker only for Dejan Kulusevski to come desperately close to snatching the unlikeliest of draws.
The Swedish substitute sent a 93rd-minute effort wide with Galatasaray keeper Fernando Muslera off his line - after 10man Tottenham were taught a lesson by opponents who could have threatened double figures.
By the end, Turkey's champions racked up 22 attempts. Were it not for their wasteful finishing, Spurs would have left Istanbul a laughing stock.
Victor Osimhen capitalised on repeated needless errors from the north Londoners to score twice in the first half, after Galatasaray Yunus Akgun put in front with a stunning halfvolley after six minutes.
And while teenager Will Lankshear equalised with his first senior goal, before being sent off in the 60th minute, Postecoglou's second-string back-line made it clear they were not up to the task.
