Tottenham defender Vertonghen: It was a special night

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen hailed a special night for the club after their Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.

Vertonghen struck in the 3-0 win.

He said, "They looked very strong and had the better of the game but in the second half we were able to turn it around.

"They dropped off a bit then that early goal in the second half helped. We had the confidence to keep going.

"It was [my first goal] since the first game this season and I had to wait for goal line technology then so I was happy that I could just go [to celebrate this time]!

"It was at Wembley too in the Champions League so it was special. It was one of those nights.

"We were able to keep them quiet in the second half and they weren't able to be clinical. The game changed in the second half definitely."
