Tottenham 2 Lyon 1

Spain 1 France 1

Alexandre Lacazette’s deflected goal gave Lyon a much-needed win in the first leg of their Champions League clash with APOEL Nicosia last night.

LYON were grateful to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for a dramatic late save as Les Gones reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in their history with victory over Ligue 1 rivals Bordeaux last night.

REAL MADRID’S dreams of a Champions League final at their Bernabeu home were crushed by Lyon last night as the Spanish giants were knocked out at the last-16 stage for the sixth successive season.

Liverpool are able to call on defender Daniel Agger for tonight's crunch Champions League Group E clash in the Stade Gerland, the Dane having recovered sufficiently from a back problem to return for the Anfield club’s injury-hit side.

RAFAEL BENITEZ insisted he did not take an unwise gamble on Steven Gerrard’s fitness in last night’s 2-1 Champions League defeat at home to Lyon.
