Harry Kane's late goal in Azerbaijan saw Tottenham Hotspur progress from Group J courtesy of a 1-0 win away at Qarabag FK.

Their passage to the last 32 was secured as Monaco suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Anderlecht, with Guillaume Gillet and Frank Acheampong netting in either half.

Aritz Aduriz scored two goals in the last 10 minutes to seal a remarkable turnaround as Athletic Bilbao triumphed 3-2 over Augsburg to ensure their progression.

Partizan are on the verge of joining them in the knockout rounds after Andrija Zivkovic's 89th-minute winner handed them a 2-1 win at AZ.

In Group H, Sporting Lisbon came from a goal down to win 4-2 away at Lokomotiv Moscow, which allowed Besiktas to go top after a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Skenderbeu Korce.

Basel sealed their place in the knockout phase of the competition despite a 2-2 draw at home to Fiorentina. Their route through was confirmed after the bottom two sides in Group I - Belenenses and Lech Poznan - laboured to a 0-0 draw.

The final games in Group K will merely decide who finishes top, as Schalke 04 and Sparta Prague are through with a game to spare.

Maxim Choupo-Moting's late goal handed Schalke a 1-0 win over APOEL, while Sparta Prague beat Asteras Tripolis by the same scoreline despite Ladislav Krejci's late red card.
