Kevin Kampl's second-half goal earned Bayer Leverkusen their first European away victory in England as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 to boost their hopes of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday.
Slovenian international Kampl's close-range effort after 65 minutes sent Tottenham spinning to a second home defeat at Wembley in Group E, having lost their opener to Monaco.
Tottenham, without a win in six matches in all competitions, were lacklustre all night and there was precious little for the majority of the 85,000 crowd to get excited about.
Eric Dier came closest to scoring when his free kick thumped against the crossbar with eight minutes left.
With two matches left, Monaco lead the group on eight points after beating CSKA Moscow. Leverkusen have six and Tottenham have it all to do with four.
