It was a wonderful victory for Tottenham and Mauricio Pochettino in the first leg against Borrusia Dortmund, with Dortmund needing up to 4 goals to qualify in the second leg.

Tottenham eased past Borussia Dortmund to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2011 as Harry Kane became the club’s top scorer in European competition.

Leading 3-0 from the first leg, Spurs were forced to survive a first-half barrage from the Bundesliga leaders in the crackling atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion.

But Kane’s intervention just after half-time ensured a comfortable second period in which the hosts failed to register a shot on target.
Latching on to Moussa Sissoko’s pass, the England captain clinically lifted the ball past home goalkeeper Roman Burki into the right corner.

It was Kane’s first effort on goal and confirmed a 4-0 aggregate win for a Tottenham side that defended resolutely throughout.

Kane’s 24th European goal moves him one clear of the club record he previously shared with Jermain Defoe.

The draw for the quarter-finals takes place on Friday, 15 March.
Despite a strong first-half showing in which they monopolised possession and chances on goal, it proved a disappointing evening for Dortmund.

Former Borussia Monchengladbach and Nice coach Favre has taken the club back to the top of the Bundesliga as they aim for their first league title since 2012.

However, their attacking threat was blunted by a strong Tottenham defence with centre-forward Paco Alcacer managing just 27 touches during the game.

That impacted on Dortmund’s other attackers, particularly after the break, with the likes of England winger Jadon Sancho struggling to make an impact as a result.

With no central thrust to the Germans’ play, the 18-year-old – who has registered nine goals this term – was shackled throughout and snatched at his only shot on target.

With just five touches in the Tottenham penalty area, Sancho was unable to influence the game in the final third.

Instead he was restricted to the middle of the pitch where he was well marshalled by a combination of Davies and Harry Winks.
