Christian Eriksen ensured Tottenham's bid to reach the Champions League knockout stages will go to the final group game after the Dane secured a late 1-0 win over Inter Milan at Wembley.

Spurs, who endured a terrible start to their Group B campaign, were heading out of the competition as they were frustrated by a disruptive Inter side until Eriksen climbed off the bench to slam home an 80th-minute winner.

They are still outsiders to progress, however, and they will have to produce one of the most famous nights in the club's history if they want to do it, as they have go to group winners Barcelona in a fortnight and match the result of Inter, who play at home to PSV Eindhoven.

Although they were made to work hard by the Italian side, who came to do a job knowing a point would seal their qualification, they deserved the win as Harry Winks earlier hit the crossbar and Jan Vertonghen somehow headed wide from close range.

75 mins: Spurs 0-0 Inter Milan 

The boys in Wembley are really lacking in intensity and just cannot get it going yet. 

They have 15 minutes before their Champions League adventure comes to a premature end.

80 mins: NO PENALTY! PSG 2-1 Liverpool 

Big claims from the PSG fans as Neymar is dispossessed by Van Dijk. 

Think the referee was correct as it appears the Dutchman got the ball.

Wonderful finish to give Spurs a lifeline in the Champions League.

82 mins: PSG 2-1 Liverpool 

Fabulous stuff at the Parc Des Princes as Liverpool push for equaliser. 

PSG counter and Sturridge gets a much deserved yellow card for a cynical foul. 

Mbappe races through on goal but great defending sees Robertson clear the danger. 

The French forward is replaced by Rabiot. 

They're hanging on until the end it would seem.

86 mins: PSG 2-1 Liverpool 

A PSG counter attack is snuffed out but a great opportunity between Bernat and Choupo Moting to put the game to bed. 

Still end to end, still nervy.

Spurs 1-0 Inter Milan 

Minimum of THREE minutes for Spurs to hang on.

90 mins: PSG 2-1 Liverpool

Freekick in a dangerous position for Liverpool 

Can they snatch and equaliser?

90+2 mins: CHANCE! Spurs 1-0 Inter 

Incredible strike from Asamoah on the edge of the box is launched towards goal at a rate of knots and Alderweireld gets in the way. 

Lucky for Spurs. 

They must win it now.
