BREAKING: Incredible drama as Tottenham score injury-time winner to beat Ajax, storm into Champions League final

Hat-trick hero Lucas Moura

It was a tale of the unexpected as English Premiership side Tottenham Hotspurs came back from the dead to snatch an incredible victory over hosts Ajax on Tuesday night and progress to the final of the 2019 European Champions League.

Spurs, who lost the first leg at home by a lone goal last week, appeared to be effectively out of contention when Ajax grabbed two first half goals to take a 3-0 aggregate lead.

However, the game was turned on its head in the second half, with hot shot Lucas Moura grabbing a hat-trick in the 55th, 59th and six minutes of extra time to power into an all-England final against Liverpool on June 1 in Madrid, Spain.
