Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored with the last kick of the game as Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to beat Marseille 2-1 on Tuesday and qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League. Hojbjerg broke away to finish emphatically in the fifth minute of injury time, sealing a Spurs comeback that means they progress as Group D winners while Marseille are eliminated from Europe altogether.

Marseille ahead at the break

Clement Lenglet had earlier headed the Premier League side back on level terms after a Chancel Mbemba goal gave Marseille the lead at the break. Hojbjerg`s last-gasp strike allowed Antonio Conte`s team to leapfrog Eintracht Frankfurt, who also advance after a 2-1 win away to Sporting Lisbon.
