Tottenham eased past Borussia Dortmund to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2011 as Harry Kane became the club's top scorer in European competition.
It was Kane's first effort on goal and confirmed a 4-0 aggregate win for a Tottenham side that defended resolutely throughout. Dortmund bombarded Lloris' goal with five shots on target in the latter stages of the opening half, but Tottenham carried a threat on the break with the pace and movement of Son Heung-min and Kane.
However, their attacking threat was blunted by a strong Tottenham defence with centre forward Paco Alcacer managing just 27 touches during the game. Instead he was restricted to the middle of the pitch where he was well marshalled by a combination of Davies and Harry Winks.Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was in superb form for Tottenham, making seven saves"We are in the quarter-finals. I'm so happy for the players, and the fans. It's an important victory. Of course we suffered a bit but it's OK and we fully deserve to be to be in the quarter-final.
