Son Heung-Min scored twice for the 15th-placed team in the Premier League, while Anton Stach and David Mokwa could only reduce the deficit for Hoffenheim.

Tottenham are now back on course for the round of 16 after three games without a win. Hoffenheim, for their part, must win in Anderlecht in a week's time if they are to have any hope of reaching the last 16. Hoffenheim's last opponents suffered their first defeat in the current competition at Viktoria Pilzen (0:2).

AS Roma (0:1 in Alkmaar) and Porto (0:1 against Olympiakos Piraeus) also have to worry about progressing before the last round.
