Tottenham's social media team mocked Marseille's ultras after Antonio Conte's side won 2-1 at the Stade Velodrome on Tuesday night.
Spurs booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League after goals from Clement Lenglet and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg helped them recover from 1-0 down. The result also knocked Marseille out of the tournament, as the Ligue 1 side needed a win to progress.
Marseille's passionate supporters tried everything to give their team an advantage. They even left off fireworks outside of Tottenham's hotel the night before the game, with loud bangs heard between 1:30am and 4:30am in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The ultras' cheeky tactics hit the headlines and Tottenham's social media team were keen to mock the fireworks after the result was confirmed. "BANG," they tweeted, accompanied by a firework emoji. Harry Kane also took aim at Marseille by tweeting a picture of Tottenham's post-match celebrations with the caption: "Full-time fireworks."
Marseille thought they were on their way to a famous win on Tuesday night when Chancel Mbemba's first-half header found the net. Yet Tottenham rallied in the second half to ensure they will be part of the Champions League when it resumes after the World Cup.
Conte will now be looking forward to the last 16 draw, which takes place in Switzerland on Monday. Potential opponents include Club Brugge, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig, Shakhtar Donetsk, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain.

Conte was forced to watch Tuesday night's game from the stands after receiving a touchline ban for his antics against Sporting Lisbon. "It was a tough night, a great battle and even more [of a psychological battle]," Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris told BT Sport.
"We could feel in the first half a team was playing without the fear to lose - it was Marseille - and in the second half we had a team that was fearing to lose - and it was us. When we had to face difficulties, we showed great personality and it's a great result."
Conte's assistant Cristian Stellini was also happy to get through. "I had the possibility to talk with Antonio - he was very tired," he said. "He lived the game in the crowd, it's not normal. Maybe he spent more energy in the stands than he normally spends on the touchline.
"It was very difficult in the first half but, in the difficulties, we didn't lose our minds. We stayed in the match. The goal we conceded was terrible because they took a corner quickly and we were not prepared.
"It was an important lesson for the future, but in the second half, something changed. We spoke in the dressing room about the energy we need in the second half and the way we have to press them and counter the game.
"In this type of stadium, this type of match - a knockout - is not very easy. The stadium was very hot in the first half and sometimes it is normal to give the possibility to the opponent to play. We need to try to play all the 90 minutes in the same level."
