Inter Milan mounted a stunning late turnaround to come from behind and shock Tottenham Hotspur with a dramatic 2-1 Champions League victory at a raucous San Siro on Tuesday.
With five minutes of normal time remaining, the home side were trailing to Christian Eriksen’s heavily deflected strike until Mauro Icardi and Matias Vecino netted in quick succession to turn the Group B encounter on its head.
Spurs were perhaps fortunate to see Eriksen’s opener loop over Samir Handanovic off Miranda, but Mauricio Pochettino’s side looked in little danger of relinquishing their lead heading into the final stages.
Inter, however, were inspired by Icardi’s moment of magic after the captain thundered a first-time volley into the bottom-left corner from 20 yards and Vecino’s close finish from a Stefan de Vrij’s header late in stoppage time.
