For the first time since 2011, Tottenham reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Borussia Dortmund 1 - 0 as Harry Kane bags top scorer for the club in European Competition.
Tottenham defeated Dortmund in the first leg 3 - 0 at Wembley, England. Spurs were forced to survive a first-half barrage from the Bundesliga leaders in the crackling atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion.
Latching on to Moussa Sissoko's pass, the England captain clinically lifted the ball past home goalkeeper Roman Burki into the right corner.
It was Kane's first effort on goal and confirmed a 4-0 aggregate win for a Tottenham side that defended resolutely throughout.
Kane's 24th European goal moves him one clear of the club record he previously shared with Jermain Defoe.
The draw for the quarter-finals takes place on Friday, 15 March.
