Ex-Spurs boss Redknapp: Kane key to beating BVB

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says they had some luck in defeating Champions League opponents Borussia Dortmund.

Spurs beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 on Tuesday in the second leg of their last-16 tie.

The Premier League side led 3-0 from the first leg at Wembley last month so were overwhelming favourites to go through.

"Over the two legs obviously a great scoreline for them," Redknapp said.

“First half they rode their luck and Lloris was in fantastic form, made some great saves.

“Once Harry Kane scored the fight went out of Dortmund.

“Tottenham looked in control, they never looked in any danger.

“They defended really well, they looked very solid second half.

“They thoroughly deserved to go through for sure."
