Tottenham Hotspur won the Champions League group, that’s the good news, but it also lost another forward to injury as Heung-min Son left the 2-1 win over Marseille in France on Tuesday.
Spurs trailed 1-0 at the break on a Chancel Mbemba goal but got second-half markers from Clement Lenglet and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to deliver a seeded spot in the knockout rounds.
Marseille held 64 percent possession and out-attempted Tottenham 16-7, and it looked grim for Spurs as Eintracht Frankfurt seized a lead over Porto in the other group game.
Spurs, instead, rallied to equalize and then found their winner on the break as Harry Kane sprung Hojbjerg for a sensational goal moments after former North London derby foe Sead Kolasinac failed to nod in a terrific chance.
Marseille also boasts former Arsenal players Alexis Sanchez and Matteo Guendouzi as well as current Gunners loanee Nuno Tavares, so the win will have been extra sweet for Spurs.
