The Spurs boss was serving a touchline ban after his red card in the fallout of the previous week’s draw against Sporting Lisbon and thus spent the 90 minutes in the stands at the Stade Velodrome. He duly saw his side stage a dramatic comeback to secure a decisive victory to secure their Champions League Round of 16 qualification, including a last-minute winner.

Chancel Mbemba’s header on the stroke of half-time had given the home side a deserved lead in a scoreline which would have seen Spurs crash out of the competition.
