Tottenham Hotspur booked their spot in the Europa League knockout phase with a 1-0 win over Partizan Belgrade at White Hart Lane on Thursday night.
The first half proved to a evenly contested affair, although both sides were restricted to long range efforts throughout the opening 45 minutes.
However, the referee suspended play five minutes before the halftime break, following three disruptions with fans invading the pitch.
Spurs took the lead five minutes after the halftime break, as Benjamin Stambouli slotted into an empty net after Roberto Soldado's effort crashed off the upright.
Soldado should have added a second in the 56th minute, the Spaniard was delightfully picked out by Aaron Lennon but could not beat Belgrade goalkeeper, Milan Lukac.
The home side came close to doubling their lead in the 69th minute but Erik Lamela's shot from the edge of the area sailed inches wide of the post.
The visitors nearly leveled matters in the 86th but Hugo Lloris pulled off a stunning reflex save to keep out Vladimir Volkov's header.
Mauricio Pochettino's men now top Group C heading into their final group against Besiktas, with the hope of securing top spot in the group.
