Tottenham Reach Champions League Last-16 with Win in Frankfurt

Wednesday, Tottenham Hotspur beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 to reach the Champions League last-16 and finish fourth in the group stage of the 36-team table.
Undermanned Spurs were missing 14 players for the tie after a chaotic lead-up, leaving only 11 experienced outfield players available, challenging under-fire Thomas Frank, Tottenham manager.
A short free-kick routine created space and produced the opener 66 seconds into the second half, with Randal Kolo Muani bundling home his third goal in 24 appearances for Tottenham.
The substitution of Solanke proved decisive when Dominic Solanke scored four minutes after coming on, securing Tottenham's fifth victory in the competition and easing pressure on Thomas Frank.
Having been an unused substitute on Saturday and involved in a car crash on Tuesday, Randal Kolo Muani escaped injury but was heavily booed on his late return to Frankfurt.
