Tottenham Hotspur received a welcome boost ahead of their clash with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon after they progressed to the last-16 of the Champions League.
Antonio Conte's side came into the match away at Marseille under pressure knowing that a win would guarantee a place in the next round and a loss could see them drop into the Europa League.
After falling behind on the stroke of half-time, Spurs came from behind to win the match 2-1 in France and finish at the top of Group D.

Clement Lenglet equalised for Spurs early in the second half before midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored in the 95th minute to secure qualification to the last-16 for the North London club.
In what could be a blow for Conte, forward Son Heung-Min had to go off injured in the first half after taking a blow to his head and he will be unavailable against Liverpool if he was concussed.
