Borussia Dortmund vs. Tottenham: Winners and Losers from Europa League

Tame Tottenham Hotspur were humbled by brilliant Borussia Dortmund in Thursday's Europa League round-of-16 battle of the Premier League and Bundesliga's respective second-place sides. A 3-0 win for Thomas Tuchel's side all but sealed their progression beyond next week's return leg in north London.

Dortmund were in charge virtually from the off, and their first-half pressure finally told on the half-hour mark.

Pulling Tottenham out of shape on the right-hand side of the penalty box, Marcel Schmelzer found space to cross. Getting between the ball-watching Kevin Wimmer and an unprepared Ben Davies, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang converted with a neat glancing header.
