		</div><p>Harry Kane rewrote the history books as Tottenham finished off Borussia Dortmund to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.</p>
<p>The England striker&#8217;s second-half goal saw him become Spurs&#8217; leading scorer in European competitions with 24, helping his side win 1-0 away to the Bundesliga leaders and seal a 4-0 aggregate success in the last-16 tie.</p>
<p>Kane&#8217;s 14th goal in 17 Champions League appearances again proved he is the man for the occasion.</p>
<p>Spurs came into the game with a 3-0 advantage from the first leg, but they were forced to survive a first-half barrage at Signal Iduna Park, before Kane&#8217;s goal early after the restart took the pressure off and ensured a safe passage to the last eight.</p>
<p>Progression represents progress for Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s side, who went out to Juventus at this stage last season. It means they are in their first Champions League quarter-final since Harry Redknapp took them there in 2011.</p>
<p>However, it was not an entirely comfortable evening for Spurs &#8211; the outcome might have been different had Dortmund taken one of 11 first-half chances.</p>
<p>With such a rescue mission to perform, the hosts were always going to start strongly and they had their visitors on the rack early.</p>
<p>Jan Vertonghen, the first leg hero at Wembley three weeks ago with a goal and an assist, again came up trumps for his side with a brilliant goal-saving tackle on Marco Reus after the Dortmund skipper capitalized on a Davinson Sanchez error.</p>
<p>Spurs were not helping themselves as they were sloppy in possession and the wave of early pressure continued as Reus&#8217; had a deflected effort that Hugo Lloris grabbed at the second attempt before Mario Gotze&#8217;s shot from the edge of the area was blocked by Christian Eriksen.</p>
<p>The Premier League side will have taken comfort from the fact that Dortmund&#8217;s desperation to score might leave holes at the back which they could exploit &#8211; and that happened on the half-hour.</p>
<p>It opened up for Eriksen in the middle of the park and he slid Son through on goal. The South Korean has a brilliant scoring record against Dortmund and would have expected to score but he stubbed his shot wide under pressure from defenders.</p>
