Champions League holders Real Madrid suffered one of their worst European defeats as Dele Alli scored twice in Tottenham Hotspur's 3-1 victory at Wembley on Thursday (NZT) to put the London club into the last 16.
The sides began the night locked together as joint leaders of Group H but Tottenham were far superior as they ended Madrid's 30-match unbeaten run in Champions League group games in stunning fashion.
Alli gave Tottenham the lead from close range in the 27th minute and doubled the home side's advantage early in the second half before Christian Eriksen put Spurs in cruise control.
Cristiano Ronaldo replied for Zinedine Zidane's side but it was in vain as Tottenham sealed a first win in six attempts against the Spanish champions who will face further criticism after falling eight points behind Barcelona in La Liga.

Aguero has scored his tally of goals in 264 games for City since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011.
