Harry Kane Only Goal Seals UEFA Champions League Next Round... As Tottenham Dumps Dortmund Out Of The Tie

Having lost the first leg 3-0 , Dortmund were always going to have a mountain to climb.

It just wasn't to be for Borussia Dortmund. Lucien Favre's side had a flurry of chances in the first half, but Harry Kane's goal shortly after the restart took the wind right out of the home side's sails.

But Marco Reus looked lively early on and slowly but surely, Dortmund dominated Spurs. With the exception of one breakaway chance for Son Heung-min, it was one-way traffic for the home side.

There was no way past Hugo Lloris though, who made a string of saves to twice deny Julian Weigl in quick succesion, before the Frenchman tipped away a curling Mario Götze effort. Jadon Sancho and Paco Alcacer also tested the Spurs captain, but found no way through.

And Dortmund paid the price, in brutal fashion. Harry Kane slipped from an offside to an onside position, Moussa Sissoko threaded the pass through the defense and Kane finished with aplomb. The Englishman had not been a factor in the game up until that moment, but when he was needed, he delivered.

Dortmund worked hard to come back, but in truth the energy of the game drained away the moment Kane found the back of the net.

With European competition no longer on the schedule, Dortmund will be hoping they can get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga. For at least one half, there was enough evidence to suggest that Favre's men look ready to regain domestic momentum.
