Tottenham Hotspur beat Ajax 3-2 last night to reach the Champions League final.
Tottenham Hotspur are into the Champions League final after staging the comeback of all comebacks away at Ajax on Wednesday night.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Spurs needed to do what Real Madrid and Juventus couldn’t by knocking out an outstanding Ajax team, and their chances were dented early on as Matthijs de Ligt headed Ajax’s second of the tie.
A superb strike from Hakim Ziyech had Ajax 2-0 up on the night and 3-0 up on aggregate, with the Moroccan’s strike appearing to send Tottenham packing in the semi-finals.
Yet just 24 hours after Liverpool’s stunning comeback, Spurs followed suit, with Lucas Moura grabbing a quickfire brace to tee up a tense ending to the game.
Ajax appeared to be heading through, but Moura popped up as the clock struck the 95th minute, driving the ball beyond Andre Onana to send Tottenham into the final in Madrid next month.
Mauricio Pochettino will now lead his side out against Liverpool in the Champions League final after an emotional night in Amsterdam, which has left everybody stunned.
Sky Sports pundit Matt Le Tissier took to Twitter to give his take, praising hat-trick hero Moura but also midfielder Dele Alli, for a smart flick to set up Moura’s winner.
Le Tissier wasn’t quite so glowing about Kieran Trippier though, suggesting that the right back looks a shadow of the player who excelled at the World Cup last summer after a tough first half showing.
