Here are our Tottenham player ratings after their 2-0 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt to send them into the last 16 of the Champions League
Randal Kolo Muani came back to haunt Frankfurt and send Tottenham into the Champions League's last 16 in Germany on Wednesday night and here are our Spurs player ratings.
Decked out in their traditional all-white look for European nights under the lights as light snow fell at the Deutsche Bank Park, Spurs needed a victory to ensure they bypassed the play-off rounds next month and instead jumped into the round of 16 of Europe's top tier competition in March.
In the end it was a goal from Frankfurt old boy Kolo Muani and another from Dominic Solanke that completed the job.
Boss Thomas Frank went into the game without the services of 14 unavailable players, including the injured Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro, meaning he had just 11 senior outfield names to choose his starting line-up from. The one senior star who took a place on the bench was Solanke, after his first back-to-back starts since May following his troublesome ankle problem.
That meant Kolo Muani was up front for Spurs against his old team just over 24 hours after his lucky escape when a blown tyre on his Ferrari led to a crash on the M25 as he was driving to Stansted Airport to catch the team flight to Germany.
In the end it would be the Frenchman who was the scourge of his old team and he was booed with every touch.
It looked like Spurs had opened the scoring within three minutes when Xavi Simons slammed home Kolo Muani's low parried cross but Destiny Udogie was offside in the build-up and deemed to be interfering with play.
Frankfurt had conceded three goals in each of their previous five matches and their defence showed throughout. The returning Joao Palhinha, playing on the right of a back three, and Pape Matar Sarr both had early efforts at goal before Wilson Odobert struck the right-hand post.
Xavi was then gifted the ball by Eintracht goalkeeper Kaua Santos in the hosts' box before the break but the stopper got a toe to the Dutchman's strike. Frankfurt had a late chance before the interval when Hugo Larsson's shot bounced off the top of the crossbar.
Spurs finally scored two minutes into the second half when Xavi's deep cross was headed into the six-yard box by the unmarked Cristian Romero and Kolo Muani flicked the ball into the net with his heel.
The visitors queued up the efforts at the Eintracht goal in the aftermath of the goal. Sarr saw his low shot saved by Santos before Xavi's deflected effort rolled wide of the Frankfurt goal with the goalkeeper wrong-footed. Nineteen-year-old Archie Gray had a strike blocked in the box before Romero sent a header at the keeper.
It was left to Solanke to come off the bench to seal the victory in the 77th minute with a low assured finish after running on to Mahmoud Dahoud's poor header back, sending Spurs into the last 16 as the fourth best team in the big Champions League table.
Here are our Spurs player ratings:
Guglielmo Vicario
Didn't have a save to make as the defence kept Frankfurt mostly at bay. 6
Joao Palhinha
Played on the right of the back three and did an effective job. Had a header pushed wide by the keeper from a corner early on. 7
Kevin Danso
Looked to pick up an injury in a collision with Romero from a Spurs corner that left him limping for the remainder of the first half. Kept battling on though and did well in the second period. 7
Cristian Romero
Defended well in the first half and grabbed an assist with his unmarked header to Kolo Muani. Led by example with his composure at the back and had a chance of his own with a header sent at the keeper. 8
Djed Spence
Got into plenty of good positions down the right. Wasn't always effective with his final product but worked very hard down that flank. 7
Archie Gray
Big game from the teenager as he covered most of the pitch in a blockbuster performance. His strength and passing was top notch. Teed up Sarr for a chance in the first half and had a shot blocked himself in the second period. 8
Pape Matar Sarr
Back in the team and the AFCON winner fired over the crossbar 25 minutes in. Had a low shot saved by Santos after the hour mark. Did well considering he's had so little game time in the past month and was ill. 7
Destiny Udogie
Adjudged offside early on when he blocked off a defender before Xavi's ruled out effort. Made a crucial tackle on the half hour mark to stop a Frankfurt attack. Really good display down the left with some important interventions. 8
Wilson Odobert
Sent a low strike against the base of the right-hand post and was a livewire throughout. The final ball wasn't always right but he was a constant threat. 7
Xavi Simons
Looked like he'd opened the scoring but Udogie was offside in the build-up. Denied by the keeper after being gifted the ball in the box. Some smart touches and turns and some less smart ones, but he's gradually getting used to those around him. He's great to watch on the ball even if his passes aren't always perfect. Never hides. 8
Randal Kolo Muani
Booed by his former fans, he thought he'd set up a goal within three minutes only for the flag to be raised. He then continued his record of so far only scoring against his old clubs for Spurs with a backheeled goal early in the second half. His link-up play throughout was very good. 8
Subs
Dominic Solanke
Put the seal on the victory with a composed low finish and showed why Frank put him back into the Champions League squad. 7
