Christian Eriksen ensured Tottenham's bid to reach the Champions League knockout stages will go to the final group game after the Dane secured a late 1-0 win over Inter Milan at Wembley.

Spurs, who endured a terrible start to their Group B campaign, were heading out of the competition as they were frustrated by a disruptive Inter side until Eriksen climbed off the bench to slam home an 80th-minute winner.

They are still outsiders to progress, however, and they will have to produce one of the most famous nights in the club's history if they want to do it, as they have go to group winners Barcelona in a fortnight and match the result of Inter, who play at home to PSV Eindhoven.

Although they were made to work hard by the Italian side, who came to do a job knowing a point would seal their qualification, they deserved the win as Harry Winks earlier hit the crossbar and Jan Vertonghen somehow headed wide from close range.

Mauro Icardi, captain of Inter Milan was the hero when these sides met at the San Siro, his equaliser rousing the Italians for their last minute surge and winner. 

Can he be the scourge of Tottenham again tonight?

And it's not just Icardi who will be hoping to help seal Inter's progress into the knockout stages but also the Croatian pair who gave England their biggest heartbreak for years in the semi-final of last Summer's World Cup. 

Manchester United were heavily linked with Perisic a couple of summers ago, and Brozovic is another handful in midfield. 

Can Spurs see off their threat on a vital game at Wembley?

PSG 0-0 Liverpool 

PSG threaten through Mbappe with his shot deflected for a corner. 

Liverpool now with one of their own after good work from Firmino.

7 mins: Chance! Spurs 0-0 Inter 

Good play from Harry Kane sees him running at the Inter defenders. 

He's at a pretty much impossible angle, on his left foot, but still gets his shot away and forces Handanovic into an unnatural save at his near post.

8 mins: NO PENALTY! Spurs 0-0 Inter

BIG claims for a penalty from all within Wembley as Politano challenged Lucas.  

The referee waves away Spurs appeals and we've seen them given. 

Don't blame him for not giving it, mind you.

News from Italy to interest Liverpool and PSG fans... 

Napoli lead. 

Squeaky bum time. 

Nathan Jacobs28 November 2018 20:12

11 mins: CHANCE! PSG 0-0 Liverpool 

The referee plays advantage after a foul on Neymar and that leaves Mbappe on the egde of the area with space and time. 

He weighs up his angles but his shot is straight at Alisson and disappointing.
