📸 Spurs star gets a rare goal to keep up fight after Atlético equaliser | OneFootball

Spurs require a minor miracle to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals tonight but they are making a go of it against Atlético de Madrid. 

A wild start to the second half suggests there could yet be life in this tie. 

Just two minutes into the second half, Julián Alvarez levelled up the score on the night with a stunning effort. 

 Atléti broke with Xavi Simons being perhaps fouled in the build up but there was no question about the quality of the finish as the Argentine continued his love affair with the competition. 

However, just five minutes later, Spurs were back in front and coincidentally via Simons. 

The Dutchman picked up the ball 25 yards out and bended a brilliant strike past the desparing arms of stand-in keeper Juan Musso for just his third goal for the club since his summer move. 

Can Spurs pull off one of the great comebacks? Even if they don't, tonight will surely do wonders for both theirs and Simons' confidence in the bid for Premier League survival.
