Lucas Moura scored twice in the space of four minutes to give Tottenham Hotspur hope of a sensational comeback against Ajax in the Champions League semi-final.

Trailing 1-0 on aggregate, Ajax’s 19-year-old captain Matthijs De Ligt seemed to put the Dutch side in total control after heading home from a corner after just four minutes.

Hakim Ziyech then doubled the lead with a brilliant first time strike after 35 minutes that Ajax presumed had settled the tie.

However, Moura sparked into life in the second half, clinically finishing on the break after a fine piece of play by Dele Alli before adding the second on the rebound after a brilliant save by Andre Onana.

The tie now stands at 3-2 in favour of Ajax on aggregate but just one goal will give Spurs the advantage on away goals. Watch the goal below:
