Borussia Dortmund 0-1 Tottenham (0-4 agg): Harry Kane strike gives Spurs emphatic Champions League triumph
Tottenham advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 1-0 victory at Borussia Dortmund – sealing a stunning 4-0 aggregate triumph.The Bundesliga leaders battered the Spurs goal for 90 minutes of the second leg, but Harry Kane’s well-taken goal sealed a remarkable smash-and-grab win for the visitors on the night.
3Harry Kane scored a smash-and-grab winnerThe England captain timed his run to perfection and curled home an emphatic finish in the 49th minute after being picked out by Moussa Sissoko.Dortmund’s task, as improbable as it already was, suddenly became impossible.They started the night needing three goals to take the tie to extra-time, and in truth, they could’ve had more than three in the first-half if it wasn’t for some spectacular Spurs defending.Hugo Lloris also pulled off a series of world-class saves as Spurs, who were winless in their last three games, answered their critics in fine style.With such a rescue mission to perform, the hosts were always going to start strongly and they had their visitors on the rack early.Jan Vertonghen, the first leg hero at Wembley three weeks ago with a goal and an assist, again came up trumps for his side with a brilliant goal-saving tackle on Marco Reus after the Dortmund skipper capitalised on a Davinson Sanchez error. Spurs were not helping themselves as they were sloppy in possession and the wave of early pressure continued as Reus’ had a deflected effort that Hugo Lloris grabbed at the second attempt before Mario Gotze’s shot from the edge of the area was blocked by Christian Eriksen.The Premier League side will have taken comfort from the fact that Dortmund’s desperation to score might leave holes at the back which they could exploit – and that happened on the half-hour.It opened up for Eriksen in the middle of the park and he slid Son through on goal. The South Korean has a brilliant scoring record against Dortmund and would have expected to score but he stubbed his shot wide under pressure from defenders.Attacks like that were a rarity, though, and it was only down to some heroic goalkeeping from Lloris that Spurs were able to survive a Dortmund barrage.First the France captain kept out Julian Weigl’s header, with Ben Davies brilliantly blocking the rebound from the same player, before Lloris again produced a fine flying save to keep out Raphael Guerriero’s curling effort, with all three chances coming in the space of a minute.
3Tottenham defended heroicallyLloris, who has produced some costly errors in the Champions League this term, then had to save more routinely from Jadon Sancho and Paco Alcacer as Pochettino’s side somehow got to half-time with their 3-0 aggregate lead intact.With the advantage of kicking towards their famous ‘Yellow Wall’, Dortmund will have been fancying more of the same.But, just as they did at Wembley in the first leg, they suffered a damaging start to the second half as Kane put the tie beyond reach.The man who so often scores for Tottenham when they need him to, showcased his clinical finishing in the 49th minute.After getting back onside when a move broke down, he found himself in space and when Moussa Sissoko slid the ball through there was little doubt about the end result as Kane fired into the top corner.
3The Champions League is Spurs’ last chance of silverwareThat ended any doubts about the outcome and Dortmund were unable to recreate the intensity and pressure they had produced before the interval.Spurs could have had a bigger winning margin had they used the ball better on the counter-attack, but they were not troubled in the same manner at the other end.Indeed, Lloris was not forced into another meaningful save until the 90th minute when he kept out Alcacer’s low shot with his legs, ensuring Dortmund were stopped from scoring in front of their own fans for just the second time this season.
