A scrappy start to the second period, possession changing hands repeatedly. emphatic 2-1 win in Turin just last month. Chris Sutton: "You can smell the fear in this stadium. Well, he is soldiering on or the time being but he's not looking too spry.
Spurs don't seem to have many forward for a team that needs three! Great vision from Eriksen, finds Dele Alli, who works the keeper at the near post with a volley. Well, they ain't singing now. Tadic surges towards the Spurs goal and then has a little lie down on the floor.

Ajax vs Spurs player ratings We rate the performances of the players in Amsterdam as Tottenham stunned Ajax in a thrilling game to reach the Champions League final. Moura plays it in, Dele is about to pounce but hero's work from Tagliafico to sneak in and clear. Has written his name into Tottenham legend.
In between, Heung-min Son had struck a post and opportunities were missed by him and by Christian Eriksen and Spurs appeared dispirited. Ajax have had it in their hands.". It breaks for Tadic though and he's wriggled free from Alderweireld in the box to shoot... just wide. Hate to rain on the parade but @AFCAjax_EN have never lost a Champions League game when they’ve scored first. The expectation and that tantalising proximity to success is what killed them in the end. A battling piece of play from Rose, and a long ball forward. Can’t stop thinking about this eerily calm cutaway just after the winner. Brilliant tackle from Trippier to deny Tadic, because Spurs were totally overloaded there and I have to say, it looked like curtains.
