Ajax 2-3 Tottenham: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Heroic Lucas Treble Earns Spurs CL Final Spot

Tottenham Hotspur are through to the 2019 Champions League final and will face Liverpool thanks to Lucas Moura's hat trick after an extraordinary second half fightback in Amsterdam on Wednesday evening.

The hosts took an early lead when captain Matthijs De Ligt rose highest from a Lasse Schone corner to powerfully head home, putting the Dutch side in a commanding position after just five minutes.

Ajax doubled their advantage in the 36th minute when Dusan Tadic laid off Hakim Ziyech who smashed a thunderous strike across Hugo Lloris to put the Eredivisie leaders seemingly out of sight.
