Tottenham beat Dortmund 2-1 in UEFA Champions League

TIL Desk Sports/ Borussia Dortmund crashed out of Europe’s elite football competition after losing 1-2 to Tottenham Hotspur in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

Borussia failed to protect their one-goal lead until the end of the clash as Tottenham bounced back on two second-half goals from Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son to seal Dortmund’s exit from the Champions League on Tuesday.

However, Peter Bosz’ men ensured a bright start on home soil and grabbed the reins. Andrey Yarmolenko unleashed a shot on target in the early stages before he set up the first chance of the game for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who pulled wide from close range in the 19th minute.

Yarmolenko remained in the thick of things as his backheel pass into the path of Aubameyang allowed the Gabon international to drill the ball past Tottenham’s goalkeeper Hugo Lloris into the bottom corner of the far post at 31 minutes of play.
