Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ended Tottenham’s hopes of an unlikely comeback with a goal either side of half time for an excellent Borussia Dortmund side.
But the hosts did eventually give the White Hart Lane faithful something to cheer about. Heung-Min Son latched onto a wayward backpass, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted in his sixth goal in seven appearances against the Germans.
The South Korean had looked rather sloppy all game, but was justly rewarded for his relentless running and effort.
Spurs were outclassed as a team, but Alderweireld still shone for us. Spurs must have one of the best centre backs in the world. Alderweireld is truly a great player. He is the best centre back I have ever seen play for Spurs. How lucky are we to have him. He was our best player on the pitch tonight. Outstanding performance from him.
