Tottenham completed an astounding comeback to beat Ajax 3-2 in the second leg of a Champions League semi-final between the two sides to earn their place in the final.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team progress after winning the tie on away goals thanks to a second-half Lucas Moura hat-trick after they went in two-nil down at the break.
Wild celebrations followed his third goal at the Johan Cruyff Arena, scored in the 6th minute of added time at the end of the ninety.
These were the best tweets and jokes as Spurs win their Champions League semi-final against Ajax on away goals after a 3-3 draw on aggregate following the second leg in Amsterdam:

For the football historians out there, the last time an English team overturned a 1st leg deficit in a European semi-final was over 23 hours ago.#AJATOT
