Juventus dump Tottenham from Champions League

Tottenham has crashed out of the Champions League following a 2-1 defeat to Juventus on Wednesday.

The Old Lady scored twice in three minutes to win 4-3 on aggregate.

Heung-min Son’s 39th-minute opener looked to have put Spurs on track for the quarter-finals.

But, having created little in the first hour of the match and looking to be on the ropes, Juve stunned the hosts with a quickfire double from Gonzalo Higuain (64) and Paulo Dybala (67).

Harry Kane came agonisingly close to a late equaliser but saw his header roll along the goal-line after hitting the post.

As Juventus celebrated wildly at the final whistle, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino headed straight down the tunnel, having seen his side blow a golden chance to make the last eight for the first time since 2010/11.

In the other game, Manchester City suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at home to Basel.

Pep Guardiola fielded a weak team having secured an emphatic 4-0 victory in Switzerland.

Gabriel Jesus gave the Citizens an early lead after eight minutes.

But the Swiss giants restored some pride thanks to strikes in both halves from Mohamed Elyounoussi and Michael Lang.
