Tottenham Hotspur wiped out Borussia Dortmund at Wembley with a 3-0 win.

The victory makes Spurs near certainties to progress to the knockout stages, especially with star striker Harry Kane set to return for the second leg.

Former Tottenham ace Darren Anderton hailed the win, and was critical of Borussia Dortmund.

He argues Dortmund lacked ambition and this was a contributing factor to their display.

Dortmund were lacking their two top scorers, Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer, and lacked the strength in depth to really threaten Tottenham.

Heung Min Son’s goal just after half-time knocked Dortmund off their stride after a threatening first half and they never recovered.

Mauricio Pochettino’s game plan stifled the Germans and they rarely threatened in the second half.

Now Spurs just need to see the second leg out.
