Kyle Walker-Peters was a surprise inclusion to the side at right-back, and made a nightmare start as he gave the ball away cheaply in midfield after just seven minutes.Ousmane Dembele took the ball from his own half and showed great skill and composure to convert past France colleague Hugo Lloris.Although Philippe Coutinho hit the post, the Premier League side deserved a goal for their brave play, really taking the game to the Spanish side.Inter could only draw 1-1 with PSV Eindhoven at the Nou Camp, meaning Spurs will go marching on in the Champions League.

With the hosts still leading and Inter Milan also one up in Italy, Spurs knew a second goal would end their Champions League hopes for good.Having already hit the post, Coutinho weaved his magic through the bewildered defence yet again down the left.Coutinho was a menace all night to Spurs4
