Tottenham respond in style on a big European night as Spurs beat Borussia Dortmund 2–0 in the Champions League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. First-half goals from Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke capped an intense, front-foot display, with Wilson Odobert heavily involved before Dortmund were reduced to ten men. The result puts Spurs in a strong position to qualify automatically for the knockout stages.
