Harry Kane has said that the words of captain Hugo Lloris and coaches Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason helped Tottenham Hotspur turn around their Champions League fate in dramatic style at Marseille.
Spurs, with boss Antonio Conte suspended and in the stands, looked out of sorts once again in a first half as they trailed at the break in France to Chancel Mbemba's headed goal and were struggling to create chances at the other end. That 1-0 scoreline meant the north London side were heading out of the Champions League and dropping into the Europa League.
However, Tottenham emerged from the half-time break with far more aggression, energy and intent and soon levelled the match with Clement Lenglet heading home from an Ivan Perisic corner before, with the last kick of the game, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg ran through on to Kane's pass and smashed home a shot off the inside of the left-hand post. That left Spurs as group winners and rocketed them into the knockout stages.
