How Tottenham Completed the Most Unlikely of Champions League Group Stage Comebacks

Tottenham Hotspur pulled off a stunning comeback to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages on Tuesday, with a point against Barcelona at Camp Nou on matchday six enough to get them through by the finest of margins, despite taking just a single point from their first three games in the competition.

Spurs were beaten by Inter in dramatic late fashion on matchday one. As it happens, the goal from Christian Eriksen during that 2-1 defeat in the famed San Siro was what eventually saw the Londoners progress at Inter's expense - the two clubs were tied on points, head to head goal difference and head to head goals scored and so it came down to head to head away goals.
