Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to beat CSKA Moskva and finish in third spot in Group E to advance to the Europa League.

Tottenham Hotspur secured third place in UEFA Champions League Group E and qualification for the UEFA Europa League thanks to an ultimately comfortable 3-1 triumph against CSKA Moskva at Wembley.

When Alan Dzagoev put the Russian side in front against the run of play, it looked as if Tottenham’s Wembley curse would strike again, but efforts from Dele Alli and Harry Kane ensured the dominant hosts went in a goal to the good at the break.

Heung-Min Son and Kane had chances to add a third in the second period, before CSKA keeper Igor Akinfeev deflected Alli’s header into his own net to round off a fine Tottenham display and ensure European football for Spurs in the new year.
