Mauricio Pochettino's men had to come from behind as they beat the Russian side to third place in their final Champions League match
Tottenham put aside their previous Wembley woes by coming from behind to record a 3-1 Champions League victory over CSKA Moscow and secure a place in the Europa League.
Both teams came into Wednesday's match knowing their hopes of continued participation in Europe's premier club competition were over, but Mauricio Pochettino had insisted Spurs would treat their final Group E fixture with the utmost importance.
That was borne out by the Argentine manager's starting line-up, which showed just one change from Saturday's 5-0 victory over Swansea in the Premier League, with Harry Winks replacing Mousa Dembele, yet it was CSKA - needing victory to overhaul their opponents - who claimed a 33rd-minute lead against the run of play through Alan Dzagoev.
