"What a test!" - National media reacts as Tottenham come from behind to win vs Marseille

Tottenham had to complete a second comeback in a week to secure their place in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on a dramatic night in France.

Spurs headed into the clash against Marseille in pole position to qualify, but found themselves a goal down on the stroke of half-time after Chancel Mbemba's header found the back of the net from a corner. Hugo Lloris kept his team in the match throughout the first 45 minutes but there was nothing he could've done about the goal as the Lilywhites put in an atrocious first half performance.

Antonio Conte watched on from the stands following his red card in the 1-1 draw with Sporting Lisbon and cut an emotionless figure as Clement Lenglet popped up with a surprise equaliser from a brilliant Ivan Perisic free-kick.
