Tottenham vs Juventus player ratings: Spurs crash out of Europe after heroic comeback from Juventus

Posted by

Tottenham crashed out of the Champions League after a late comeback from Juventus.

Spurs had their hearts broken at Wembley despite looking comfortable at half-time.

Heung-Min Son had given Spurs the lead on 39th minute to give them a 3-2 lead on aggregate. However, the second-half saw Juventus come out with a hunger that was not seen in the first half.

Gonzalo Higuain equalised for the Serie A champions on the 64th minute before Paulo Dybala scored a winner on 67th minute.

Harry Kane saw a last minute header hit the post as Spurs were unable to answer the deficit presented to them.

Man of the match

Gonzalo Higuain not only scored the goal to draw the sides level but he also assisted Dybala’s winner. While the Argentine was isolated at times, he made the very most of the opportunities he was presented with.
