UEFA Champions League: Spurs Erase Two-Goal Deficit To Gain Series-Opening Road Draw With Juve As Knockout Stage Opens; Citizens Too Much For Basel In Switzerland

The opening round---the Round of 16---in the UEFA Champions League's knockout stage commenced with two games on Tuesday.



At Turin, Italy:


Harry Kane (35') and Christian Eriksen (71') each scored once as Tottenham Hotspur came back from two goals down to earn a series-opening 2-2 road draw with Juventus.


Gonzalo Higuain scored both of The Old Lady's goals in the first ten minutes (2', PK-9').


Here's Spurs coach (or manager) Mauricio Pochettino watching the match from the sidelines (or is it touchline).
