Harry Kane increased his tally to 13 goals this season after scoring in the match, closing in on the top scorer position currently held by Kylian Mbappe.
The two teams are close to equaling the record for the most goals in a two-legged knockout tie, needing just four more goals in the return leg.
Paris Saint-Germain with 43 goals and Bayern Munich with 42 goals are nearing the record set by Barcelona with 45 goals as the highest-scoring team in a single Champions League season.
