Mauricio Pochettino’s side suffered a 1-0 defeat against the Dutch club last week and got off to the worst possible start in Amsterdam on Wednesday evening as Matthijs de Ligt opened the scoring in the fifth minute.
Spurs looked all but out of the competition by the 35th minute as Hakim Ziyech put Ajax two in front.
But a second-half hat-trick from Lucas Moura, his third coming with virtually the last kick of the game, completed Spurs’ dramatic revival and they will now face Liverpool in Madrid at the start of June.
