Rose embarks down the left wing on a good run and takes on Toljan, who barges into the Tottenham full-back and receives a late booking that will rule him out of Dortmund's final group stage. The set-piece is sent short to Sissoko, who then holds up the ball near the corner flag as best he can.
90' +4
Aurier charges down the right flank on a charasterically marauding run and does well to win his side a late corner. Unsurprisingly, they aren't in a rush to take it, and Sissoko eventually plays the ball off Gotze and out for a throw-in near to the corner flag.
90' +2
R. Weidenfeller enters the game and replaces R. Bürki.
A groggy looking Burki will play no further part in the game, and he's stretchered off the pitch to be replaced by Roman Weidenfeller for the final few minutes of the contest.
90' +1
This doesn't look good for Burki. The goalkeeper received an accidental boot to the head from Llorente as he rushed out to deal with the danger, and it's one that's left him in a heap on the floor and in serious discomfort. The Dortmund medical team quickly rush onto the pitch to examine the Switzerland international's nasty looking injury.
90'
The fourth official has indicated that there will be five minutes of added time.
89'
What a chance for Llorente! The Spaniard is presented with an excellent opportunity to extend Tottenham's lead and score his first goal for the club after going one-on-one with Burki, but he shows far too much of the ball to the goalkeeper and ends up losing out before he can shoot.
88'
A lovely series of passes just outside of the Tottenham penalty area sees Guerreiro combine really well with Aubameyang. The striker then skips past a tackle before shooting, but his low effort is well blocked by Dier on the edge of the box, denying him the opportunity to test Lloris.
87'
Another lofted pass is fired deep into the Tottenham half of the pitch as Dortmund try to carve out late chance on goal, but this time Winks is able to latch onto the ball and clear the danger without too many problems.
86'
Fernando Llorente enters the game and replaces H. Kane.
Tottenham have made their third and final change, with Fernando Llorente coming on to replace Kane up front.
85'
M. Sissoko enters the game and replaces C. Eriksen.
Dortmund push forward once again as they try to find a way back into the game. A looping cross is fired over to the left-hand side of the Tottenham box and manages to pick out Guerreiro, who quickly shoots but sends his first-time half-volley well wide of its intended target.

Description
84'
Eriksen receives a rousing round of applause from the travelling Tottenham fans as he's replaced by Moussa Sissoko.
83'
Great defending by Dier! Aubameyang darts into the right-hand side of the Tottenham penalty area and links up really well with Yarmolenko. He then pokes a clever pass across the face of goal that looks set to find Guerreiro, but Dier is there to make it doesn't with an important interception.
81'
M. Dembélé enters the game and replaces D. Alli.
Tottenham have made their first switch of the evening, with Mousa Dembele coming on to take the place of Alli.
80'
Eriksen almost makes it 3-1! Son charges towards the Dortmund box before teeing up Rose in plenty of space over on the left flank. The full-back then chips a cross right onto the head of Eriksen, who beats his marker in the air but can only send his downward header just wide of the far post.
78'
Ö. Toprak enters the game and replaces D. Zagadou.
Zagadou went down after the goal was scored and seemed to be in quite a bit of discomfort, so he's been forced off to be replaced by Omer Toprak.
76'
Son Heung-Min has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by D. Alli.
That was excellent play by Alli, who refused to give up after being closed down and forced into a corner over on the left wing. Bartra and, in particular, Gotze really should have done better defensively, but take nothing away from Alli's brilliant run and pass.
GOAL! Tottenham are in front! Alli shows great grit and determination to squeeze through Bartra and Gotze before darting into the Dortmund penalty area. He then cuts a clever pass back to Son, who takes a quick touch and curls a lovely strike into the top right-hand corner of the net.
74'
Tottenham patiently work their way into the Dortmund half of the pitch as Rose makes his way down the left wing. He then sets up Alli to swing in a cross from the byline, but Weigl does well to stick with the England international and is able to poke the ball away at the vital moment.
72'
Dortmund have struggled to carve out too many chances on goal since the break, with Tottenham looking the more dangerous of the two sides. Aubameyang tries to get into the game once again after receiving the ball not far outside of the visitors' box, but he quickly loses possession and then clumsily fouls Winks from behind as the midfielder tries to sprint away.
70'
Aurier flies into Guerreiro as the Portuguese charges down the left flank, resulting in a free-kick for Dortmund in a promising position. It's sent in by Castro and almost manages to find a team-mate at the far post, but Rose is there to nod the ball behind for a corner that's also well defended by the visitors.
68'
Eriksen picks up the ball on the edge of the Dortmund penalty area and tries to tee up Alli, but his pass flies past the attacking midfielder before finding Rose on the left-hand side of the box. The full-back then cuts a clever pass back to Son, who tries to get a shot away but is let down by a heavy first touch.
66'
G. Castro enters the game and replaces S. Kagawa.
Dortmund have made their first substitution of the evening, with Gonzalo Castro coming on to replace Kagawa.
65'
Aubameyang drifts out to the right wing as he tries to latch onto a pass ahead of Sanchez, but the defender does really well to beat the striker to the ball before blasting it out for a throw-in.
63'
Chance for Toljan! The young full-back hasn't been presented with many chances to push forward, but he's finally able to do so after a pocket of space opens up for him over on the right wing. He gets himself into a good position on the edge of the box and quickly shoots, but his thumping effort fails to dip quickly enough and sails a few yards over the top of the crossbar.
62'
And now Son almost goes close! Bartra's attempted clearance is a poor one and can only find Alli, who quickly heads towards the Dortmund box once again. He then threads a clever through-ball towards Son, who tries to get to the pass ahead of Burki but loses out to the goalkeeper before the linesman's flag is eventually raised.
61'
Vital interception by Bartra! Dortmund lose possession on the halfway line, allowing Eriksen to poke a lovely pass through the hosts' back line and towards Kane. The striker looks set to take on Burki, but Barta is just about able to dart in front of the England international to deny him the opportunity to shoot.
59'
Dortmund push forward down the right wing and do well to win themselves a free-kick in a promising position. Guerreiro's cross into the heart of the Tottenham penalty area is a great one and looks set to find Zagadou, but Dier is there to nod the ball behind for a corner that's also well dealt with by the visitors.
57'
Chance for Alli! Eriksen and Kane link up well deep inside the Dortmund half of the pitch before the latter flicks the ball back to Alli. The attacking midfielder is in a pocket of space and quickly shoots from 25 yards out, but his low strike is slightly mishit and flies comfortably wide of the far post.
55'
Rose darts down the left wing after latching onto a bouncing ball in a promising position. He then curls a looping cross over to the far post and towards Kane, but the striker is easily beaten to the ball by a smart take from Burki.
53'
Not much, it turns out. Eriksen's cross into the heart of the penalty area isn't a particularly bad one but fails to pick out a white shirt, allowing Yarmolenko to clear the danger without too many problems.
52'
M. Schmelzer gets yellow.
Schmelzer slides into Aurier and catches the Ivorian with a late challenge, leaving the referee with no choice but to show him a yellow card and award Tottenham a free-kick in a promising position. What can they do with it?
51'
Weigl picks up the ball midway inside the visitors' half of the pitch and quickly fires a clever lofted pass into the Tottenham box. It looks set to find Gotze, who had made a good run forward, but Rose sticks out a foot to make sure it doesn't.
49'
H. Kane has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by D. Alli.
Alli did well to pounce on Toljan's error before setting up Kane, while Rose did well to put pressure on the young defender. It was a poor piece of play from the Dortmund man, however, and it's a mistake that really shouldn't have been made.
GOAL! Kane equalises for Tottenham! Toljan is caught in possession deep down the right flank, allowing Alli to pick up the ball in a promising position. He quickly rushes towards the box and tees up Kane, who manages to carve out some space for himself before rifling a wonderful strike past Burki. Game on!
47'
Dortmund quickly push forward and are almost able to carve out an early chance on goal, but Kagawa loses his footing on the edge of the Tottenham box and ends up poking a deflected pass into the hands of Lloris, who does well to keep the ball from rolling out for a corner.
46'
We're underway once again!
45'
Son twists and turns deep down the left flank as he tries to find a way past Yarmolenko, but he's unable to do so and has to settle for a corner. It's fired in by Eriksen and almost finds Kane, but Zagadou gets the better of the striker to clear the danger at the far post.
43'
Kane steps up and shoots, but his low strike fails to test Burki and is comfortably blocked by Toljan in the middle of the pitch. Tottenham have to settle for a throw-in deep down the left wing, and it's one they can't turn into a chance on goal.
42'
Son is clumsily tripped over by Son as he cuts inside deep down the left flank, resulting in a free-kick for Tottenham in a very dangerous position. It looks as if Kane is going to take this one, but can he make it count?
40'
What a save by Burki! The resulting corner is whipped into the heart of the home side's box and picks out Dier, who rises high above Bartra and forces Burki into making a brilliant diving stop with a bullet header. That looked certain to find the back of the net!
39'
Great chance for Eriksen to equalise! Son and Rose link up really well before the latter picks out Eriksen with a perfect cross into the penalty area, but the Dane can't quite beat Burki with his first-time thumping shot and sees it well saved by the Dortmund goalkeeper.
37'
Eriksen does well to win the ball back from Mario Gotze midway inside the Dortmund half of the pitch before evading two sliding tackles. He darts towards the penalty area and manages to get a shot away, but it's underhit and trickles into the hands of Burki.
35'
Space opens up for Dortmund on the break after another Tottenham attacking move fails to come to anything. Aubameyang charges into the right-hand side of the visitors' box and looks set to test Lloris once again, but he's brilliantly dispossessed by a sliding tackle from Eric Dier.
33'
Tottenham quickly push forward from the restart and manage to win themselves a corner over on the right wing, but it can only find Weigl and results in another corner for the visitors. Winks' cross over to the far post is slightly overhit, and it fails to find Alli before bouncing behind for a goal-kick.
31'
P. Aubameyang has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by A. Yarmolenko.
That was really good play by Yarmolenko to put the ball on a plate for Aubameyang. He's arguably been one of Dortmund's best players so far, and he's really proving to be a handful for the Tottenham defence.
GOAL! Dortmund have taken the lead! Guerreiro cuts inside quickly from the right flank before picking out Yarmolenko just outside of the Tottenham box. The Ukrainian pulls off a lovely back-heeled pass to flick the ball into the path of Aubameyang, who breaks into the penalty area and fires a great strike past Lloris to put the home side 1-0 ahead.
30'
The set-piece initially fails to result in a chance on goal, but Tottenham quickly regain possession and push forward once again. Eriksen sends another great pass into the penalty area and towards Son, who darts through the Dortmund back line but can't quite latch onto the ball in front of goal.
29'
A lovely cross-field pass from Eriksen sails over to the right-hand side of the Dortmund box and picks out Aurier. The Ivorian brings the ball down quickly and whips a cross over to the far post, where Toljan is there to chest the ball behind for a corner.
27'
Dortmund patiently move the ball around inside the Tottenham half of the pitch as they try to find a way through the sea of white shirts camped in front of them. They're unable to do so, however, and Bartra eventually ends up blasting a terrible attempted pass out for a throw-in on the left wing.
25'
Raphael Guerreiro makes a clever run into the left-hand side of the visitors' penalty area as he tries to latch onto a pass from Schmelzer, but he's well marshalled by Aurier and has to settle for a corner. It's Shinji Kagawa who whips a cross towards the near post, where it's nodded on and almost picks out Julian Weigl in front of goal. Alli was just about able to clear the danger at the vital moment.
23'
Lovely play by Tottenham in and around the Dortmund penalty area sets up Aurier over on the right-hand side of the hosts' box. The wing-back quickly knocks it towards Son at the near post, where the South Korean is closed down and put off by Zagadou, denying him the opportunity to shoot.
21'
Alli picks up possession for Tottenham over on the left wing and quickly pokes the ball back to Jan Vertonghen, who then blasts it up to Kane. The striker links up well with Christian Eriksen and looks to get the ball back once again, but the Dane is quickly closed down by three yellow and black shirts and can't find a way through.
19'
What a chance for Aubameyang! Yarmolenko drifts into the middle of the pitch and chips a world-class pass over the top of the Tottenham defence and towards Aubameyang. The striker easily slips away from his marker and is all alone inside the penalty area, but somehow he ends up poking his close-range shot wide of the goal. He really should have buried that!
17'
Huge let off for Marc Bartra! The Spaniard is caught sleeping in possession deep inside the Dortmund half of the pitch and has the ball stolen away from him by Harry Kane. The striker quickly darts towards the box, but the referee awards a free-kick to the home side before he's able to take on Roman Burki.
15'
Yarmolenko does well to dart down the right wing as Dortmund push forward on another quick attacking move. He then curls a delightful cross into the Tottenham penalty area and towards Aubameyang, who is beaten to the ball by Aurier and loses out to the Ivorian before he can make contact with the ball.
13'
Quick, precise passes from Dortmund cause a few problems for the Tottenham back line as they try to carve out a decent chance on goal. Yarmolenko is eventually able to wriggle away from two players before getting a shot away from the edge of the box, but it's underhit and fails to trouble Lloris.
11'
Winks picks up the ball in the middle of the pitch after good hold-up play by Son and quickly launches a lofted pass over to the right wing. Aurier does well to latch onto the ball, but he's quickly closed down by Schmelzer and can't find a way past the Dortmund full-back.
9'
Jeremy Toljan darts down the right wing and fires a deep cross over to the far post, where Serge Aurier rises high and nods the ball behind for a corner. Schmelzer steps up and curls a cross right onto the head of Zagadou, who does well to reach the ball but can't test Hugo Lloris with his looping headed effort.
7'
Andriy Yarmolenko picks up the ball midway inside the Tottenham half of the pitch and tries to find a way past Danny Rose, but he's clattered into by the full-back and has to settle for a free-kick. It's sent short and worked over to Marcel Schmelzer, who eventually fires a low cross into the penalty area that almost finds Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but is well dealt with by Davinson Sanchez.
5'
Tottenham push forward once again and do well to win themselves a corner over on the left wing. Harry Winks' cross into the box is a good one and almost manages to find Alli, who sticks out a foot but can't quite latch onto the ball in front of goal.
3'
Early chance for Heung-Min Son! A thumping clearance from Dele Alli flies deep into the Dortmund half of the pitch and manages to pick out Son just outside of the penalty area.

We're off!
Good evening and welcome to our live text commentary of today’s Champions League group stage game between Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur at Signal Iduna Park.
An underwhelming and disappointing Champions League campaign has left Dortmund absolutely desperate for a win if they’re to have any chance of reaching the last-16. Most people would have expected them to be in a much better position heading into their final two group stage games, but after managing to only draw twice against group minnows APOEL, they currently sit five points behind Real Madrid.
Dortmund’s hopes of reaching the knockout stage for the fifth time in six years are largely out of their hands, as they need Madrid to lose away to APOEL for any potential victory this evening to even count. To make matters worse, they find themselves on a dreadful run of form at the moment, with just one of their last eight competitive games ending in a win, that coming against third-tier Magdeburg in the cup last month.
The job is almost done for Tottenham, who confirmed their place in the last-16 with an excellent victory at home to Madrid three weeks ago. They lead the way in Group H heading into this evening’s clash, and they know that just one more win will see them finish first and hand them what should be a preferential fixture in their first Champions League knockout tie since 2011.
Tottenham have enjoyed a pretty positive start to the new season on all fronts, but they suffered a disappointing defeat in last weekend’s north London derby and will have to bounce back quickly if they’re to avoid suffering another loss here tonight. They’ve stumbled slightly and have lost three of their last five games, but they were able to comfortably beat Dortmund 3-1 the last time the two teams met.
There’s just under 15 minutes left to go until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this this evening...
Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Vorm, Foyth, Davies, Trippier, Dembele, Sissoko, Llorente.
Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Winks; Alli, Eriksen, Son; Kane.
Peter Bosz has decided to make four changes to the Dortmund side that drew at home to APOEL in their last Champions League game, with Jeremy Toljan, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Marcel Schmelzer and Andriy Yarmolenko coming into the starting line-up to replace Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Omer Toprak, Christian Pulisic and Maximilian Philipp, respectively.
Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has made three alterations to the team that featured in their last European outing, with Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld and Ben Davies making way for Serge Aurier, Danny Rose and Heung-Min Son as they switch to a four-man defence.
The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
HALF-TIME: BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1-0 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
That was much better from Dortmund, who are serenaded with a rousing round of applause from the home fans as they make their way off the pitch. They've struggled in recent weeks but have thoroughly impressed so far this evening, resulting in them ending the first half with a well-deserved one goal lead. They largely have Burki to thank for it, however, as the goalkeeper pulled off two great saves to keep his side in front and frustrate a determined Tottenham side.
The two teams are making their way back out on to the pitch ahead of the start of the second half. Neither side have made any substitutions during the half-time break.
FULL-TIME: BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1-2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
It's job done for Tottenham, who have won their group after picking up a well-deserved away victory tonight. It initially looked as if they were going to have to deal with a long and difficult evening after finding themselves on the back foot in the first half, but they thoroughly impressed after the break and were certainly the better team from then onwards.
