    Tottenham 2-1 Anderlecht

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane, speaking to BT Sport: "It was a game of two halves. We dominated in the first and in the second they came out and made it tough. 

    "Anderlecht are a great team but it was great from Mousa to pull the finish out of the bag and get us the three points.

    "It's a very tight group, everyone is beating everyone else, and there is still a lot to do. Qarabag away will be tough and Monaco at home to finish. Hopefully we can win the next one and get the job done."

    Rubin Kazan 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, on match winner Jordon Ibe: "He is a very good lad, a very skilled player and a really big talent – he is fast, strong, good at dribbling.

    “He has a lot to learn, but has a really good base. He feels good at the moment and we could see it tonight. Like everyone, he has to work hard – he is very young and has a long way to go. He has to learn and if he is prepared to listen, everything will be good.”

    Athletic Bilbao were big winners at home to Partizan Belgrade, dispatching the Serbs 5-1 as Aritz Aduriz scored his 100th goal for the club.

    Schalke missed out on the chance to secure a place in the knockout stage, held to a 1-1 draw in Sparta Prague.

    And Albanian champions Skenderbeu secured their first ever victory in European competition proper, beating Sporting Lisbon no less, 3-0.

    A good night for Premier League teams then as Tottenham and Liverpool both secure wins that put them in a strong position to reach the knockout stage. 

    Spurs travel to Qarabag in their next game, before hosting Monaco in their final group-stage fixture. 

    If they beat bottom side Qarabag on 26 November and Monaco defeat Anderlect, Mauricio Pochettino's side will qualify for the knockout stages with a game to spare.

    Meanwhile, Liverpool - second in Group B - are next at home to Bordeaux knowing a win will see them progress.

    "A real hard-fought win for Tottenham. Anderlecht started well and Spurs weathered that, Harry Kane scored a sensational goal and credit to Mauricio Pochettino's side - they came back after conceding the equaliser, too.

    "Mousa Dembele's spectacular finish was a fitting goal to win a great game."

    Anderlecht coach Besnik Hasi is marching up and down his technical area, shouting at the ground in frustration. This was an opportunity lost for the visitors, who were the better side for much of the game.

    Meanwhile, Harry Kane continues to run down the clock in the corner.

    Neil Knighton: Dembele absolutely spanked that. No wonder Poch wants to give him a new contract, he's cracked how to score!

    "What a goal! And there's me saying that's Mousa Dembele's wrong foot. A half-volley with his right foot flies into the top corner. Pick that one out."

    Three minutes of added time is shown on the fourth official's board. Three minutes for Tottenham to hold on for an important win. They are on course to go top of Group J as Harry Kane takes the ball into the corner.

    Out of nothing, Tottenham lead again! It is a fine goal by Mousa Dembele, who is in a rich run of goalscoring form at the moment.

    Substitute Son Heung-min, moments after playing a superb cross-field ball, tees up Dembele on the edge of the area and he launches an unstoppable drive into the back of the net for his third goal in as many games.

    Harry Kane sees a shot blocked and Tottenham have a corner. Erik Lamela takes it, but Guillaume Gillet heads clear.

    While we've been talking puns, I wonder what Tim Sherwood would have made of Gillet if he was still in the Spurs dugout tonight.

    Anderlecht bring on more fresh legs as Ibrahima Conte comes on for Fabrice N'Sakala. 

    Seven minutes left, Tottenham could really do with a win with two tricky final games coming up, but they are the side doing all the defending at the moment.

    Imoh Ezekiel once again causes Tottenham problems, this time springing the offside trap as he chases a ball into the box. Fortunately for Spurs, Toby Alderweireld gets back in time to deflect the forward's shot behind.

    Tottenham need to stick two players on Ezekiel, heck three players. If the visitors are to get another goal tonight, you can be sure he will play a big part in it.

    "Spurs had a 10-minute spell at the beginning of the second half when they were by far the better side. They didn't score though, and will they rue that now? 

    "They're going to have to work really hard to win this game from here. And that's not ideal before playing Arsenal on Sunday."

    "A diagonal pass drifted beyond the Spurs defence, and Imon Ezekiel didn't make the best of contacts on the ball but it squirmed over the line. Anderlecht are back in this tie."
