Juventus came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 in the Champions League round-of-16 second-leg clash at Wembley.

The hosts came into the fixture holding the upper hand thanks to a 2-2 draw in Turin in the first leg.

After Son Heung-min gave the hosts the lead, quick-fire strikes from Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala saw the Juventus emerge victorious.

The Italian giants progress to the quarter-finals with a 4-3 aggregate win.

Here are our player ratings:

STARTING XI

Hugo Lloris – 5: Didn’t make a single save and there was little he could do for the two goals.

Kieran Trippier – 5: Got the assist for Spurs but failed to track Higuain and then Dybala for the goals.

Davinson Sanchez – 6: Solid for Spurs but was drawn into Higuain as Dybala was slipped in.

Jan Vertonghen – 6: Was lucky not to give away a penalty in the first half after a challenge on Douglas Costa.

Ben Davies – 4: Was caught napping and played Dybala onside for the winner. Struggled thereafter.

Mousa Dembele – 8: Bossed the midfield in the first half but didn’t have the same command after going behind.

Eric Dier – 6: Disappointing with his passing and gave the ball away cheaply at various points.

Christian Eriksen – 7: Pulled the strings in the final third and created a host of chances. Typically busy

Dele Alli – 6: Kicked around as Juve couldn’t keep up. Endured more hurt than he inflicted on the defence though.

Son Heung-Min – 8: Scored the opener and always a threat. Didn’t deserve to be on the losing side.

Harry Kane – 6: Had the beating of Juve’s aging centre-backs initially but they came to grips with him in the second half.

SUBS

Erik Lamela – 5: Couldn’t make the ball stick in possession.

Fernando Llorente – N/A: Tried to exercise his aerial threat but never managed to.

Son Heung-Min (R)
