"Under-pressure Tottenham boss Thomas Frank led his team to the last 16 of the Champions League following a huge 2-0 victory away to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday. Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke both struck in the second half to lead Spurs to a fourth-placed finish in the league phase, behind Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal. Frank's side thought they had taken an early lead when Xavi Simons finished past Kaua Santos,"
"Joao Palhinha then saw his header saved before Wilson Odobert crashed a left-footed effort against the post, while Hugo Larsson clipped the crossbar at the other end. However, just two minutes after the restart, Spurs got themselves in front when Kolo Muani swept home from close range after being picked out by Cristian Romero's header. Kolo Muani should have doubled his and Spurs' tally just after the hour but could only head wide, but his blushes were spared by Solanke with 13 minutes remaining."
"Data Debrief: Tottenham's Champions League triple threat While results have not been kind to Frank in the Premier League, his Tottenham team have delivered in the Champions League, with their late charge seeing them finish in the top eight and setting up potential ties with Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Club Brugge or Galatasaray in the last 16. Indeed, Spurs have now won three consecutive"
Tottenham defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 to qualify for the Champions League Round of 16, finishing fourth in the group behind Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal. An early Xavi Simons effort was ruled out by VAR for a Destiny Udogie foul in the build-up. Randal Kolo Muani opened the scoring two minutes after the restart from Cristian Romero's header, and Dominic Solanke sealed the win after Mahmoud Dahoud's misguided header sent him through. Spurs have won three consecutive Champions League matches for the first time since 2019 and have reached the knockout stage in six of seven appearances, drawing potential ties with several top clubs.
