Two late goals flattened Tottenham as Inter Milan came from a goal down to win their Champions League Group B opener 2-1 at the San Siro.
Tottenham were punished for wasting a number of second-half chances as Mauro Icardi equalised for Inter with four minutes left.
The striker brilliantly volleyed in from the edge of the area from Kwadwo Asamoah's left-wing cross before Vecino completed the comeback in the final seconds.
Spurs were unable to respond and suffered a third straight defeat for the first time under Pochettino, as Inter returned to Europe's top table with a dramatic win.
