Spurs defeat CSKA to earn Europa League berth

Tottenham rounded off a frustrating Champions League campaign with a 3-1 victory over CSKA Moscow that secured the dubious consolation of a place in the Europa League.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side was already eliminated from the Champions League before Wednesday’s final Group E fixture, but they finished on a high note with their first victory at Wembley in their third attempt.

After falling behind to Alan Dzagoev’s strike, Tottenham equalised through Deli Alli and Harry Kane netted in first half stoppage-time before goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev’s own goal sealed the points.

Tottenham were third in the group and will enter Europa League when the knockout stages begin in February.
