Harry Kane puts Tottenham Hotspur into Europa League knockout stages

The visitors were first to threaten in Baku when, four minutes in, Heung-Min Son received a precise pass deep inside the box and let rip with a ferocious shot, but Ibrahim Sehic pulled off a smart save.

Ryan Mason was next to threaten the opposition goalmouth with a long-range shot that soared just a few inches over the Qarabag bar in the 10th minute.

Spurs continued to press as Kieran Trippier played a deft pass into the path of Dele Alli just after the quarter-hour mark, but the latter's strike from inside the box flew narrowly wide of the right post.

The hosts then enjoyed a rare foray forward when Dani Quintana set off on a run and weaved past a number of defenders just before the break, but his effort in front of goal proved weak and easy to save.

Mauricio Pochettino's charges enjoyed more of the same dominance after the restart, with Son smashing a shot against the crossbar and Eric Dier's low effort prompting a save from Sehic.

Qarabag's resistance eventually crumbled in the 78th minute when Kane succeeded in heading home Christian Eriksen's corner from six yards out to give the Premier League side the win.
