Juventus scored two quickfire second-half goals to earn a 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium, sending them through to the quarterfinals with a 4-3 aggregate win.
Dele Alli had a volley from a half-cleared cross saved down the middle, two more chances would fall the way of Son – given the nod over Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela.
The South Korean dragged the first one wide from a decent position, but he soon made amends by sending a miscued shot spinning past Chiellini and Buffon after some good work from Kieran Trippier to square it into his path.
Paulo Dybala, who barely had a touch all evening up until this point, squandered a big chance from close to the penalty spot, but from the next attack Gonzalo Higuain stuck out a boot to direct Sami Khedira’s composed headed pass beyond Hugo Lloris.
Momentum now on their side, Higuain turned provided by playing Dybala through on goal, and the young forward remained calm to pick his spot past Lloris – his first European goal of the campaign.
