Lucas Moura came to Tottenham's rescue with a late equaliser to secure a dramatic 1-1 draw at Barcelona, which sent them through to the Champions League last 16 at the expense of Inter, who failed to beat the last-placed team in Group B, PSV Eindhoven in their own stadium.
In a week which he has been accused of turning up late to training, Ousmane Dembele seemed switched on earlier than anyone else with his seventh-minute opener.
Spurs crafted a host of chances after the break and, just when it looked as though they were never going to find a way past Jasper Cillessen, Lucas – a 71st-minute replacement for Son Heung-min – found the net to complete a great escape.
Mauricio Pochettino: “The players were fantastic. A massive effort. I am so happy for the fans. A massive massive achievement for the club. I always believed it was possible to win the game. We produced a lot of chances. But after we missed so many we thought maybe it was not our night. We fully deserved to go through with Barcelona. We were the best teams in a difficult group.”
