The NFL returns to London this afternoon as the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints go head to head at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

[NFL](/topic/nfl) returns to London this afternoon as the [Minnesota Vikings](/topic/minnesota-vikings) and [New Orleans Saints](/topic/new-orleans-saints) go head to head at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Veteran Andy Dalton will get the start under centre instead, but is without wide receiver Michael Thomas as the Saints also look to go 3-0 in London after previous wins here over the Chargers and Dolphins.

Dalton duly levelled the game at 7-7 with a 4-yard TD pass to first-year star Olave, who continued the form that saw him named NFL offensive rookie of the month for September. They went 75 yards in nine plays as Hill took another direct snap and followed his blockers for the touchdown before Dalton found Jarvis Landry for a successful two-point conversion. Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore gave away a 40-yard, pass interference penalty on Adam Thielen that set Minnesota up at the three, where Jefferson scored on a 3-yard end around. Early evidence certainly suggested that method had worked, as Minnesota flew out of the blocks – cutting the Saints defence to ribbons on a 13-play, 75-yard opening drive that ended with running back Alexander Mattison taking a short pass 15 yards to the endzone. Conventional wisdom has it that arriving in London well ahead of gameday to give the players maximum adjustment time is the best approach. Familiarity with the NFL and its place in the wider UK sporting culture has grown exponentially since 2007 and, while the crowd will never be as partisan as at a US-based game, the knowledge is there. Ball-hawking defensive back Tyrann Mathieu jumped an Irv Smith Jr route to snare an interception near the left sideline to set up good field position before a combined Cam Jordan-Marcus Davenport sack stalled another Minnesota drive. The spectacle was undeniable and as the NFL’s roots in the UK capital deepen with each passing year, they have clearly found a perfect home here at Tottenham. The Spurs and England captain was also presumably not trusted to conduct the actual coin flip itself as referee Clete Blakeman did the honours, with Kane merely an interested by-stander in a fashion that a less charitable person might suggest was not dissimilar to his role for l [arge swathes of Saturday’s north London derby](/sport/football/arsenal-tottenham-result-premier-league-xhaka-b2189489.html). Yet if the first 75 per cent was unspectacular, the final 25 per cent more than made up for it, as the most engrossing of fourth quarters in which momentum careered back and forth ended with the Vikings somehow holding on to triumph 28-25. Duelling 75-yard touchdown drives, including a successful two-point conversion, demonstrated a quality on offense that the rest of the game had been lacking, before Wil Lutz thumped a career-long 60-yard field goal that drew the Saints level thanks to Vikings kicker Greg Joseph having missed the previous extra point. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, purpose-built for this sort of occasion, again provided an ideal backdrop for the razzmatazz that accompanies the International Series games.

HARRY KANE may be a Tottenham legend, but he didn't exactly feel the love from NFL fans in N17 on Sunday.

Antonio Conte's side will face Brighton away next weekend, with their home stadium playing host to the second of three NFL London games - the Green Bay Packers hosting the New York Giants. Tottenham Hotspur forward and England captain Harry Kane was booed by fans at his club's stadium on Sunday as he performed the ceremonial coin toss. The striker was a guest of honour at the game, and stood with the team captains before the start of the match.

RB Alexander Mattison caught a pass on the next play and scampered to go on top 7-0. It's the third trip to the red zone that ends in a field goal. The rookie out of Georgia seemed to have suffered from a leg injury. That means the Vikings have to take a timeout and New Orleans, who is out of timeouts, gets to draw up a play. But two late field goals from Minnesota have pushed the Vikings ahead. First, a catch on 4th down marked the first successful conversion of the day. Tight end Johnny Mundt dropped a short pass on a third-and-1 from the 10 and Minnesota opted for a field goal instead of going for it. With a 61-yarder in front of him, Lutz stepped up to take the kick and swung his leg with enough power to send it through the uprights. On the next possession, Dalton fumbled on a strip-sack by Za'Darius Smith and Dalvin Tomlinson. There's 1:14 remaining in the game and out comes Greg Joseph, who has been perfect on field goals, but missed an extra point. The Vikings led 13-7 and had first-and-goal on the 3 after Justin Jefferson's 41-yard reception in the third quarter, but were pushed back by a delay of game penalty. The Vikings were in control early.

"From where I was standing I thought it [Lutz's field goal] was going to be good. We had our chances. Otherwise, the scoring was left to the boot of Joseph as he kicked 28 and 36-yard field goals either side of a Dalton fumble to secure Minnesota a 13-7 half-time lead.
