A patched-up Tottenham side delivered their best performance of the season with a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund. Captain Cristian Romero opened the scoring before Dominic Solanke notched his first Champions League goal for the club. The victory, secured with only 11 outfield players available, moves Spurs closer to a top-eight finish in the league phase.

Djed Spence was instrumental as a makeshift left-winger, setting up the opener and winning the corner for the second goal. A VAR review saw Dortmund's Daniel Svensson sent off before halftime, but Spurs had already dominated. This result provides crucial breathing room for head coach Thomas Frank, whose future had been questioned after a poor Premier League run.

The win showcased the attacking potential Spurs have struggled to find this season, offering a timely boost. While a sterner test awaits at Burnley this weekend, this performance gives Frank and the squad vital momentum. The return of Solanke and the emergence of teenage debutant Jun'Ai Byfield added further positives on a night where everything clicked.
