Recap
Spurs entered Wednesday's match desperate for a win to keep their chances of progressing to the next round alive, and the team came through in a big way, beating Leverkusen.
Anton Walkes fired his side ahead in the first half with a deflected shot, per the club's official Twitter account:
"#UYL: GOAL! Shashoua floats a corner over to the back post, @AntonWalkes's shot goes in via a defender. 1-0, 34mins #COYS
— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) November 2, 2016"
The goal was later changed to an own goal from Boeder, who endured a nightmare outing on Wednesday. The defender was given a straight red card for a foul on Harrison shortly after his own goal, as the official judged him to be the last man.
Harrison missed a penalty but redeemed himself with the all-important second goal, securing the win for Spurs. Leverkusen almost completed an implausible comeback, but Simon Rhein's injury-time goal came too late.
Real Madrid lead Group F after their 2-1 win in Poland over Legia Warsaw, courtesy of goals from Antonio Segura and Alberto.
Los Blancos dominated from start to finish but survived a late scare, as Tomasz Nawotka scored in injury time. The hosts ran out of time in search of an equaliser, however.
Dortmund couldn't close the gap to Sporting in the same group, losing 1-0 despite a late red card for Joao Ricciulli, per the club's official Twitter account:
Rafael Leao scored the only goal of the match shortly before half-time. Sporting were the better team for much of the contest, attempting no fewer than 15 shots.
A brace from Harvey Barnes couldn't save Leicester City in Copenhagen, where Morten Hjulmand scored a late winner to secure all three points for the hosts. The win was Copenhagen's first of the group stages, and following Club Brugge's shock win over FC Porto, the Foxes are in real danger of not qualifying for the knockout stages.
CSKA Moscow enjoyed a fantastic afternoon in France, beating AS Monaco 5-0. Fedor Chalov bagged four goals, and star striker Timur Zhamaletdinov also got on the scoresheet.
