Tottenham win in Frankfurt to finish fourth in the league phase | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur finished fourth in the Champions League first phase after a well-earned win away to Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Champions League has been a place of refuge for under-fire Spurs boss Thomas Frank with his side often producing their best performances in Europe.

Indeed, the North London side almost took the lead just a few minutes into the game against Eintracht Frankfurt but Xavi Simons's effort was disallowed.

Instead, Tottenham had to wait until the first few minutes of the second period after a well-worked set-piece resulted in Cristián Romero playing in Randal Kolo Muani to finish from a yard out.

One man who Frank has missed for much of this season is Dominic Solanke who scored his first goal for the club in the win over Borussia Dortmund.

The striker did it again against German opposition as he showed his rapid pace to charge through on goal and finish past Kauã Santos in the 77th minute.

That goal essentially sealed the game for Spurs who remain a team that looks far more comfortable in Europe than the Premier League.
