Italian champions, Juventus are through to the next round, after a dramatic come from behind 2-1 win against Tottenham at Wembley in their Champions League round of 16 second leg game.

Argentine duo of Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala both found the net as two goals in the space of five second half minutes saw Juve book their place in the last eight with a 4-3 aggregate win.

After coming behind themselves to draw 2-2 in the first leg, Spurs were deservedly put in front by Son Heung-Min, who continues his brilliant scoring form at Wembley.

However, a tactical substitution and change from Juve manager, Massimiliano Allegri, turned the match around and in favour of the Old Lady.

Juve held on for a very brilliant victory, becoming the first side to beat Spurs this season in the CL, and earning a place in the quarter finals
