Tottenham: Pochettino says he’s ‘emotional’ after Ajax comeback
Lucas Moura completed his hat-trick when he netted a dramatic late winner in the sixth minute of stoppage time to set up a mouth-watering all-English final with Liverpool in Madrid on June 1.
Gary Lineker, Rio Ferdinand and Glenn Hoddle went berserk after the Brazilian’s shot hit the back of the net.
Spurs looked to be heading out with a whimper after going in at the half-time break 2-0 behind on the night and 3-0 on aggregate.
Matthijs de Ligt showed why he is one of the most in-demand defenders in all of Europe as he rose highest to head home a corner on five minutes.
Hakim Ziyech’s emphatic strike made it 2-0 to the hosts 30 minutes later but Spurs came out a completely different side after the break.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino reacted by bringing on Fernando Llorente for Victor Wanyama in a clear showing of his attacking intent.

And Moura reduced the deficit just 10 minutes later as he burst through the middle to finish low into the corner.
The Brazilian made it 2-2 on the night four minutes later with a superb finish after showing lovely feet in the box.
Llorente and Dele Alli both had chances to send Spurs through but it was Moura once more who stepped up to the mark when needed as he showed his predatory instincts to finish right at the death.

"Still difficult to talk,” the emotional Spurs boss said after the game.
“The emotion is amazing, thank you to football. My players are heroes - in the last year I was telling everyone this group are heroes.
“The second half they were amazing. Thank you football - this type of emotion without football is no possible.
“Thank you to everyone who has believed in us. To describe this in words is difficult.”
