Leipzig book their place in Quarter Finals after beating Tottenham Hotspur 3 – 0

Marcel Sabitzer struck twice inside the opening 21 minutes as Leipzig booked a place in the quarter-finals for the first time.

The home skipper Sabitzer quickly dispelled any notion of nerves from the UEFA Champions League knockout debutants with two early goals in Germany. The Austrian doubled Leipzig’s aggregate lead after just ten minutes, a speculative low shot from the edge of the box sneaking inside Hugo Lloris’ right-hand post via his fingertips.

The French goalkeeper, man of the match in the first leg three weeks ago, perhaps could have done better. He certainly should have 11 minutes later when Sabitzer’s near-post header found the net following Angeliño’s cut-back. There was no way back for Tottenham, Dele Alli passing up their best opening. Substitute Emil Forsberg made it 3-0 late on with his first touch.
