Lucas Moura scored a stoppage time winner to complete a hat-trick and seal a sensational 3-2 comeback win for Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday in Amsterdam.
The away win which gave them a 3-3 aggregate scoreline took them past Ajax Amsterdam on the away goals rule into the 2018/2019 UEFA Champions League final match of June 1.
Tottenham looked down and out at half-time after skipper Matthijs de Ligt’s fifth-minute header and a superb 35th minute effort by Hakim Ziyech put Ajax in complete command of the tie.
The Dutch side had won the first leg 1-0 in London last week.
But 24 hours after Liverpool’s miracle comeback to beat FC Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate, Tottenham produced their own heroics to reach their first European Cup final match.
While Tottenham celebrated an unlikely recovery, Ajax’s journey that began in the second qualifying round in July, ended in abject misery and disbelief.
