Spurs hold off BVB to reach UCL quarters:
DORTMUND, Germany — Borussia Dortmund's hopes of an unlikely comeback were denied by Hugo Lloris and Harry Kane as Tottenham reached the Champions League quarterfinals with a 1-0 win on Tuesday.
"Lloris was great. The mentality was good," Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino said."We conceded more chances than we expected, but that is football. When you beat them 3-0 in the first leg, it's always difficult. There was nothing to lose for Borussia Dortmund, and they were taking a lot of risks."
Jan Vertonghen made a crucial interception to deny Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer went close before Lloris made a brilliant reflex save to thwart Reus' deflected shot. It was the home side's ninth attempt on goal. By the time the first half ended, Dortmund was up to 11 — and still scoreless.
