Tottenham vs Dinamo Zagreb LIVE: Latest score, goals and updates from Europa League fixture tonight
Follow all the latest updates from the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur are hosting Dinamo Zagreb tonight as Jose Mourinho’s side look to take another step toward European glory. Inconsistency has blighted Spurs’ campaign, both domestically and in the group stage of their Europa League campaign, but more recently they have found a positive groove with key attackers finding form. Gareth Bale, Dele Alli and Harry Kane have all been impressive at times recently, giving the boss options to rotate his team.
Dinamo have yet to lose a game in the Europa League this season and finished top of the group ahead of Wolfsberger – who Spurs knocked out in the last round. This last-16 clash will see Tottenham start as favourites, but they know they’ll have to be near their best to continue their progression through this competition, with the ultimate aim of winning the trophy and securing a spot in next season’s Champions League.

HALF TIME
Tottenham 1-0 Dinamo
Yellow card for Dier right before the whistle. Kane’s strike is the difference, but there have certainly been enough chances to suggest more goals lie ahead after the break.
44’ - Spurs 1-0 Dinamo
Far better from Tottenham off the ball since the opening 10 minutes or so. Another counter-attack from Dinamo ends in a free-kick, after two or three home players scramble back to cut off all out-balls. Mourinho will be pleased with the work rate.
40’ - Spurs 1-0 Dinamo
Davies wins the ball off Petkovic and Kane runs toward the area - but this time his strike from range is wild. Spurs quite comfortable with their one-goal lead as we approach the break.
36’ - Spurs 1-0 Dinamo
No huge response from Dinamo as yet, though Orsic has tried to launch counters a few times. The latest one costs him as Lamela wins the ball on a tackle and the Dinamo man suffers a bit of pain in the fall.
32’ - Spurs 1-0 Dinamo
Petkovic curls one on target from outside the box, but it’s never troubling Lloris.
28’ - Spurs 1-0 Dinamo
Dinamo’s defensive record has been very good in Europe this season, with just one conceded in the group stage and two in the last round. Early breakthrough for Spurs could prove pivotal.
GOAL! 24’ - Spurs 1-0 Dinamo
And there’s the opener! Kane’s initial pass sets Spurs upfield, Lamela drives forward to create a shooting chance, he hits the post...and Kane has followed play up to tap in the rebound. 25 for the season in all competitions for him.
22’ - Spurs 0-0 Dinamo
It’s a very free-flowing, end-to-end game so far. Dinamo very impressive in their midfield build-up play, while Spurs are effective in going back to front at speed.
18’ - Spurs 0-0 Dinamo
Unorthodox. Aurier sends over a great low cross and two or three players come sliding into the six-yard box...goalkeeper Livakovic simply volleys it clear! No bending down and catching for him.
14’ - Spurs 0-0 Dinamo
Mourinho still barking away in the technical area, encouraging his players to play more quickly. Ndombele attempts a couple of times to surge through gaps in midfield but Dinamo close him out by sheer numbers.
