'I'm so emotional now' - Pochettino hails Tottenham 'heroes' after Champions League semi-final comeback

The coach was elated with his side's performance in the second half as they overcame a three-goal deficit to set up a final clash against Liverpool

An emotional Mauricio Pochettino hailed his Tottenham players as "heroes" after they fought back against Ajax to progress to the Champions League final.

The London side were down 3-0 on aggregate midway through their semi-final second-leg against Ajax in Amsterdam, but a Lucas Moura hat-trick in the second-half booked their spot in next month's final against Liverpool.

Ajax looked capable of grinding out the result until the final seconds of the game, as Moura struck the decisive six minutes into stoppage time.
