90' +1
V. Wanyama enters the game and replaces M. Sissoko.
Spurs make their final switch - Sissoko off. Wanyama on. They've done their job.
Dortmund show they're still awake, just. Gotze finds the new entrant Guerreiro, whose left-footed shot whistles past Lloris' right-hand post.
90'
É. Lamela enters the game and replaces Son Heung-Min.
The game is slowed by a raft of changes as Spurs settle for the result. Son is deservedly clapped off. Lamela comes on for him. There will be two added minutes.
88'
J. Bruun Larsen enters the game and replaces C. Pulišić.
Raphaël Guerreiro enters the game and replaces J. Sancho.
Dortmund make their final change. Sancho - who's looked bright tonight - is replaced by Guerreiro.
Favre has had enough. Pulisic is hauled off and replaced by Larsen. He'll rue his wastefulness earlier.
86'
Fernando Llorente has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by C. Eriksen.
GOAL! 3-0 SPURS! What did we tell you? Spurs win a corner on their left off Schmelzer. Eriksen whips the ball in and it's nodded straight into the net by Llorente. Dortmund look done for already.
Eriksen weighted that corner perfectly. His team now have a commanding lead in this tie that Dortmund look unlikely to pull back.
84'
Fernando Llorente enters the game and replaces Lucas Moura.
Spurs make their first sub - Lucas is replaced up front by Llorente. No doubt the Spaniard will love all the crosses coming in.
Aurier's cross for that goal was fantastic. Spurs have gone about their job impressively in this second half - Dortmund less so.
83'
J. Vertonghen has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by S. Aurier.
GOAL! 2-0 SPURS! Spurs are in control of this tie now. Sissoko robs Gotze of the ball and passes wide to Aurier. The Ivorian whips in a quick cross towards the far post from deep which Vertonghen reaches just in time to lash it into the net! It's his first Champions League goal for Spurs.
82'
Alderweireld stands with the ball on the halfway line, wondering why on earth Dortmund aren't bothering to press him. Eriksen gets impatient and has a shot blocked.
78'
A nice one-two for Spurs and Sissoko is off down the right. He holds the ball up but Dortmund get the ball back soon enough. Looking at the replay of Lucas' first shot a few moments ago, Spurs had a claim for handball by Delaney there. A minor VAR check ruled it out.
77'
M. Schmelzer enters the game and replaces D. Zagadou.
Dortmund make the first change of the game. Zagadou is replaced by Schmelzer.

72'
Dortmund have their first extended spell on the ball for a while. Spurs drop in to defend. Foyth and Sanchez conspire to make a routine clearance more anxiety-inducing than it needs to be.
71'
Sanchez gifts Dortmund the ball again. Pulisic picks up the ball but trips over his own feet and Dortmund's chance to counter is gone.
69'

67'
Spurs keep the ball for a while with Dortmund electing not to venture forward and leave space behind them. The away side are staying disciplined but look short of ideas.
65'
Spurs look more comfortable in possession and are starting to sparkle now. Sissoko, who's drifted wide right, powers forward and aims for Moura in the centre. Toprak hooks the cross away from danger.
63'
This game really has opened up since Spurs' goal. Vertonghen almost repeats his assist for Son after overlapping down the left. This time it's too close to Dortmund's defenders and is bundled out for a corner.
62'
Eriksen's corner finds Vertonghen who heads straight at Burki. Up the other end, Pulisic finds himself with the ball in Spurs' box but is quickly crowded out.
60'
Spurs get a few chances. First, Eriksen gets a shot from outside the box that Burki saves easily enough, then Vertonghen takes a free-kick quickly and sets the Dane free again. This time, his looped pass is headed over by Zagadou. Spurs corner.
58'
A Lloris long clearance is headed on by Spurs but Dortmund win the ball back. Vertonghen beats Sancho to the loose ball and heads straight torwards Dortmund's goal. He soon gets a rush of blood to the head and balloons his shot high and wide.

Dortmund haven't had a sniff of goal yet this half. Sancho gets clipped by Vertonghen as the young English winger drops deep to receive the ball. Dortmund free-kick.
55'
The Dane steps up and can only hit Dortmund's yellow-and-black wall. Dortmund win a free-kick soon after.
53'
T. Delaney gets yellow.
Dortmund are still trying to get their heads around that goal. Spurs work the ball back to Lloris and combine well down their left to find Son, who twists on the edge of Dortmund's box and is tripped by Delaney. Spurs free-kick in a promising position.
Delaney is booked for that challenge. Eriksen prepares to take it...
50'
Son gets in on the action again as he takes on Toprak. This time he can't get past Dortmund's Turkish defender. The South Korean really is a talisman for this Spurs side.
47'
Son Heung-Min has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by J. Vertonghen.
GOAL! 1-0 SPURS! Yes, they can! Eriksen intercepts Hakimi's lax pass and passes to Vertonghen. The Belgian has all the time in the world to arc a cross towards Son, who volleys the ball spectacularly past Burki from close range!
That was a fantastic cross by Vertonghen, but Hakimi should have done far better there. That'll make this tie very interesting now.
46'
Spurs kick off this second half. Will either side light up this first leg with a goal?
45'
HALF TIME: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 0 - 0 BORUSSIA DORTMUND

It's a little scrappy in midfield. Hakimi gets forward again and crosses, but a block takes all the power out of it. Lloris rises high to grab it.
41'
Spurs are getting more chances but Dortmund look worrying when they're in full flight. Vertonghen nicks the ball off Hakimi and hands Dortmund a throw.
39'
Sancho is unhappy after he hits the deck as he approaches Spurs' area. It looks like no one touched him.

32'

30'
Hakimi barges Vertonghen over by Dortmund's corner flag just as the Belgian's about to cross. No foul, and a goal-kick. Vertonghen claps semi-sarcastically.
29'
There's cries for a foul as Sissoko is brought down by Delaney but there's nothing in it. You sense the first goal in this game will be hard fought for.
28'
Dortmund don't keep the ball for long. Spurs continue to tap it around their defence and the base of their midfield, not really getting anywhere. Foyth spots Vertonghen free on the left wing and overcooks the pass. This is a minor issue for Spurs.

21'
Sancho skips and dances past Sanchez down Dortmund's right and looks for Gotze in the centre of the box. Sanchez catches up and gets in the right place to clear.
20'

19'
Sancho lays off to Hakimi who's arrived on the overlap. Sissoko slides in and brings the Moroccan down. Dortmund free-kick on the right of Spurs' box.
18'
Spurs pass the ball around their back three. Sanchez has another forward pass to Eriksen cut out. Spurs' defenders don't look the most comfortable in possession.
16'
Alderweireld makes another clearance after Sancho takes a heavy touch just when it looks like he might be through on goal. Dortmund look a big counter-attacking threat.
14'
In contrast, Dortmund are sitting off when Spurs have the ball. Sanchez passes the ball straight to a yellow shirt and forces Son into giving away a foul. He smiles ruefully.
13'
Witsel dallies on the ball and is bundled over by Lucas. Dortmund win a free-kick in a deep position. Spurs are clearly trying to unsettle Dortmund's possession game.
12'

Dortmund deal with the corner and Aurier gets an early yellow card for hauling down Pulisic as the away side try to counter.
10'
Sissoko is pickpocketed from behind by Gotze. Winks quickly wins the ball back and immediately tries to set Son free but Spurs' smiling South Korean can't quite reach the through-ball.
8'
Alderweireld angles another ball wide right to Aurier, but no one in white is in the box waiting to get on the end of the Ivorian's cross. The two sides are sizing each other up right now.
7'
Eriksen finds Vertonghen coming forward from the left and his cross is headed away. Sissoko wins a second header and it lands straight to Lucas in the area, who flashes a shot past Burki's left-hand post. Not far off.
6'
A Dortmund through-ball goes nowhere and Spurs have it again. It's a tentative game at the moment.
4'
Spurs are playing a clear back three with Vertonghen at left wing-back. The home side seem happy to wait for Dortmund to come onto them at the moment. Son attempts to latch onto a loose ball and Burki claims.
2'
The Wembley crowd are really up for this, with Spurs' songs ringing out around the stadium. Spurs hound Dortmund in their own half but the away side do a decent job of keeping the ball.
Spurs win a throw on their right after Pulisic can't keep a pass in play. Vertonghen tries to get forward until Sancho forces him to pass back to Lloris. It'll be interesting to see how the young Londoner does for Dortmund tonight back on home soil.

Dortmund gets this round of 16 tie underway after a stirring minute's applause for two lost footballing stars - Emiliano Sala and Gordon Banks!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this UEFA Champions League round-of-16 first leg between Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium.
Tottenham's appearance in the Champions League knock-out rounds this year took some effort. Mauricio Pochettino's side had a bumpy ride to the round of 16, starting dismally in the group stage before a late draw in Barcelona sealed their progress. Plenty has changed for Spurs since then - will they bring their great league form, or the form that saw them knocked out of both domestic cups in four days?
SUBS: Paulo Gazzaniga, Danny Rose, Fernando Llorente, Kieran Trippier, Oliver Skipp, Erik Lamela, Victor Wanyama.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND (4-2-3-1): Roman Burki; Achraf Hakimi, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Omer Toprak, Abdou Diallo; Thomas Delaney, Axel Witsel; Jadon Sancho, Mahmoud Dahoud, Christian Pulisic; Mario Gotze (c).
SUBS: Marcel Schmelzer, Marwin Hitz, Leonardo Balerdi, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Marius Wolf, Maximilian Philipp, Raphael Guerreiro.
Spurs' opponents are Borussia Dortmund, who currently look a realistic bet to win their first league title since 2012. Dortmund have lost a little rhythm since they breezed through their group last year, but they still have enough about them to pose a serious threat to Spurs' potential advance in this season's competition.
Spurs and Dortmund know each other well at this point, as they face each other for the third time in four years in European competition. In 2015-16 Dortmund dumped Spurs out at the Europa League round-of-16 5-1 on aggregate, only for Spurs to defeat Dortmund twice in their Champions League group last season. This tie really is finely poised.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (4-3-1-2): Hugo Lloris (c); Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld; Moussa Sissoko, Juan Foyth, Harry Winks; Christian Eriksen; Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura.
The two sides walk onto the Wembley pitch and stand by side for the Champions League anthem. It never fails to raise the hairs on the back of your neck.
Spurs will now travel to Dortmund with an impressive lead and have to be favourites to make the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since Harry Redknapp's side did it in 2010-11. Dortmund will have three weeks to reflect on their hesitant approach to that game.
Spurs' focus now returns to Premier League action and their away trip to Burnley this weekend, while Dortmund head to rock-bottom Nurnburg in the Bundesliga. They'll need a good win there to shake this defeat from their heads. That's all for now! Goodbye!
