Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld has insisted that his side need to play their natural game tonight, and try to put Borussia Dortmund under pressure at White Hart Lane.

The north London outfit suffered a demoralising 3-0 defeat at the Westfalenstadion last week in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie and are odds favourites to exit the competition.




Spurs never really posed any real threat to the Dortmund goal in the away leg, but are aware that they need to get the strikers firing tonight to have any chance of making a comeback in the tie.

Alderweireld believes that they need to play the game which has carried them to second in the Premier League this season, and with a partisan Tottenham crowd behind them, he feels Spurs can put BVB under pressure.
 


When asked about their approach tonight, the defender told Spurs TV: “I think play more of our game, which we are used to playing.

“It was a bad game for us, so we have to maintain our level, like we are always playing and try to put them under pressure at the Lane, with the fans behind us.”

Spurs are currently the join top scorers in the Premier League with Leicester City, and will be hoping that their attack comes to the fore against Dortmund.
