Son Heung-Min proved the scourge of Borussia Dortmund again as his late winner ensured Tottenham will go through to the Champions League round of 16 as group winners.
Spurs fell behind to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's first-half strike but Harry Kane equalised with his sixth goal of the tournament before a brilliant bit of Dele Alli trickery set up Son to seal a 2-1 victory.
The South Korean now has eight goals in 10 games against Dortmund, a record that stretches across three different clubs -- Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham.
Few of those strikes are likely to have been as important as this one, however, with Mauricio Pochettino's side now guaranteed to go through first in Group H with one game to spare, ahead of European champions Real Madrid.
The result also comes as a timely boost to morale following Saturday's gut-wrenching defeat at Arsenal.
When Tottenham last visited the bouncing Westfalenstadion, they were the underdogs in a Europa League tie they took little interest in and the German outfit ended up winning 5-1 on aggregate.
Now, Spurs head into the Champions League knock-out stages, having not only brushed aside Dortmund home and away, but also Madrid. They will be a dark horse when the draw is made next month.
Pochettino had suggested some players would be rested but he picked a strong line-up that included Kane and Alli, both recently injured, as well as Danny Rose, whose future was again thrown into doubt after he was not even on the bench for Saturday's North London derby.
As for Dortmund, Aubameyang was recalled after being dropped for disciplinary reasons and former Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa started in midfield.
