Luka Modric sends message to Tottenham after dramatic victory against Ajax

Tottenham Hotspur secured a 3-2 win over Ajax in the second-leg of their Champions League semi-finals last night to book a place in the final against Liverpool.

The north London side had their work cut out for them having suffered a 1-0 loss during last week’s first-leg at home, and things went from bad to worse after they went 2-0 down after 45 minutes.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino introduced Fernando Llorente ahead of the restart, and the decision to go direct produced a massive comeback as Brazilian forward Lucas Moura bagged a hat-trick, including a winner at the death.
