UEFA Champions League games continued on Wednesday with English side, Tottenham Hotspur left heartbroken against Juventus as the Italians won 2-1 in the second leg to progress 4-3 on aggregate.
Spurs took the lead through Heung-Min Son, but Juve fought back with two goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala against the run of play at Wembley Stadium.
How the Tottenham defeat happened
Spurs dominated the first half as Son slotted home six minutes before half-time for a precious advantage.
However, the Italians gambled as they tried to reverse their fortunes, and a classic smash-and-grab saw the nature of the tie flip around.
Higuain levelled the score on the night and on aggregate after 64 minutes, and Dybala ran clear of the Spurs defence to crash his effort past goalkeeper Hugo Lloris three minutes later.
The English side were shellshocked by the passage of play, and the Italians immediately went into an overtly defensive formation to protect their comeback.
Harry Kane had a quiet night, but his header hit the post in the final moments as Spurs threw everything at their opponents.
The Manchester City game
Manchester City join Juve in the next round, despite losing 2-1 to Basel at home in the second leg. The Premier League leaders won the tie 5-2 on aggregate.
Gabriel Jesus tapped home an opener for City after eight minutes as the hosts flew out of the blocks, but it was to be manager Pep Guardiola’s best moment as the visitors caused a minor shock.
Mohamed Elyounoussi silenced the City fans with a 17th-minute equaliser, and Michael Lang grabbed the winner with 19 minutes remaining.
It was a satisfying victory for Basel, but a hollow achievement after collapsing in the first leg against Guardiola’s men.
City will not be too concerned by the result, and they remain one of the favourites to win the competition as we approach the business end of the tournament.
The two winning sides join Real Madrid and Liverpool in the last eight.
Here are the latest results :
Manchester City 1-2 Basel (City win 5-2)
Spurs 1-2 Juventus (Juve win 4-3)
