However, Lucas Moura scored a second-half hattrick - including the crucial goal deep into stoppage time - to level the tie 3-3 on aggregate and send Spurs through on away goals.

Tottenham will now go on to face Liverpool in the final on June 2nd.

Its only the second all-English final in the Champions League, after Man United beat Chelsea on penalties back in 2008.
