Tottenham produced a brilliant comeback to draw at Juventus after a disastrous start to their Champions League last-16 first leg in Turin.<\/p>\n
Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s side were 2-0 down inside 10 minutes after Gonzalo Higuain followed up a sumptuous volley with a penalty, awarded for Ben Davies\u2019 foul on Federico Bernardeschi.<\/p>\n
Harry Kane started the fightback after rounding Gianluigi Buffon following Deli Alli\u2019s threaded pass and Higuain then missed a penalty for the hosts with the last kick of the first half, following Serge Aurier\u2019s poor challenge on Douglas Costa.<\/p>\n
Spurs dominated possession against the Italian champions and got their reward when Christian Eriksen\u2019s low free-kick evaded Buffon to give Spurs the edge going into the second leg at Wembley on 7 March.<\/p>\n
Spurs remain unbeaten since 16 December, and Pochettino said: \u201cWe are more mature. The team is growing and have stepped up in this aspect. I think the team was amazing in the way they reacted.\u201d
