Enjoying an excellent run in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur got top spot in Group J by outclassing Monaco with a 4-1 win at White Hart Lane.
Erik Lamela was the hero for Spurs, the Argentine netting a first-half hat-trick to put Mauricio Pochettino’s side out of sight before Stephan El Shaarawy got one back for the visitors.
Tom Carroll added the fourth goal for Tottenham late on, and they go through with Anderlecht, who beat Qarabag 2-1 in Brussels in the night’s other game. Meanwhile, last season’s Champions League quarterfinalists Monaco are out of Europe altogether.
