Tottenham Hotspur will meet Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Darren Anderton, Andros Townsend and Graham Roberts expressed their delight on Twitter after Tottenham produced one of the greatest nights in their history on Wednesday.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side scored three second-half goals against Ajax to book their place in the Champions League final – they were 3-0 down on aggregate at half-time.
The North London club looked down and out at the break, but they clearly took inspiration from Liverpool’s comeback on Tuesday to work their own magic in Amsterdam.
The night before, Liverpool overturned a three-goal deficit to beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate, Spurs’ game finished 3-3 on aggregate as they went through on away goals.
Brazil forward Lucas Moura hit a stunning hat-trick, including scoring deep into stoppage-time to stun the Dutch crowd into utter silence.
After the game, three former Tottenham players, Anderton, Townsend and Roberts expressed their feelings on the outcome of the match on their personal Twitter accounts.
When Tottenham were sitting in their dressing rooms at half-time, many would have thought that their chances of progressing to the final had gone.
But within 15 minutes, they had pegged two goals back, with the substitute Fernando Llorente being a threat up front despite him not finding the back of the net.
Six minutes into stoppage-time, it looked all over and too late for Spurs, but then Moura stepped up to score one of the great if not the greatest goal in Tottenham’s history.
