Tottenham came from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 and book its place in the Champions League last 16 as group winner ahead of Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min cancelled out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's strike for Dortmund to keep Tottenham on top of Group H. Madrid was three points behind.

With one round remaining, the defending champion cannot catch the English Premier League side on account of its inferior head-to-head record, despite its 6-0 rout of APOEL Nicosia in Cyprus. Tottenham drew with the Spanish champion in Madrid, then won the return fixture in London.

"It's done and now we can enjoy it," said Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who hailed "a big achievement."

The best Dortmund can hope for, with two points from five games, is Europa League qualification. The side is struggling badly with only one win - in the German Cup - from nine games across all competitions.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown on BT Sport’s match choice option.

It’s a big game for…

Dele Alli. Spurs have already qualified for the last 16 and despite missing the first three games through suspension, Alli has been a huge part of that by scoring twice in the win over Real Madrid last time out. However, his performance in Saturday’s north London derby has come in for heavy criticism as have a number of his below-par offerings this season and he really needs to remind people of his quality more regularly. And there are few better opponents to do that against than Borussia Dortmund.

Remember when…

Tottenham beat Dortmund for their first win at Wembley since making it their temporary home earlier this season. Harry Kane scored twice after Son Heung-min’s opener with Andriy Yarmolenko getting the sole reply. Jan Vertonghen was sent off late on.

Player to watch…

Christian Pulisic. Dortmund will be going all out to beat Spurs to keep alive their very slim hopes of qualification for the round of 16, and Pulisic, pulling the strings in midfield, is likely to be at the heart of it. Despite not being the assist-demon you may expect – he hasn’t provided one since the first day of the season – the American is a livewire. Cutting in from the left he caused Spurs some heart-stopping moments in the return game at Wembley and expect more on Tuesday night.
