Brillant Spurs Comeback In Turin

Juventus 2-2 Tottenham: Kane and Eriksen lead comeback
Tottenham produced a brilliant comeback to draw at Juventus after a disastrous start to their Champions League last-16 first leg in Turin after going 2-0 down inside 10 minutes with Gonzalo Higuain following up a sumptuous volley with a penalty, awarded for Ben Davies' foul on Federico Bernardeschi.

Harry Kane started the fightback after rounding Gianluigi Buffon following Deli Alli's threaded pass and Higuain then missed a penalty for the hosts with the last kick of the first half, following Serge Aurier's poor challenge on Douglas Costa.

Spurs dominated possession against the Italian champions and got their reward when Christian Eriksen's low free-kick evaded Buffon to give Spurs the edge going into the second leg at Wembley on 7 March
