Chancel Mbemba’s headed first goal failed to stand. For the third time in Champions League history, Spurs finish first in their group.
Tottenham overcame a goal deficit to win Group D of the UEFA Champions League, eliminating Marseille from the competition for the current campaign.
After manager Antonio Conte quit on matchday five, the visitors watched from the stands as Spurs were timid and second-best to a fired-up Marseille team in the first half.
Although Chancel Mbemba’s forceful header gave Marseille the lead late in the first half, Hugo Lloris made excellent stops to stop Alexis Sanchez and Jordan Veretout.
After the break, though, Spurs appeared to have changed for the better, and they drew even when defender Clement Lenglet headed in a free-kick.
Then, with 10 minutes remaining, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg struck the crossbar.
Then, with Marseille needing a winner, Hojbjerg made a break for it and scored a defeated goal to seal the victory.
Spurs won the group ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt over Sporting Lisbon and this outcome, with Marseille coming in fourth.

How Spurs Ascended From The Ground
Tottenham had a preview of what to expect from their Champions League match against Marseille when the home crowd put on a firework show before the game.
Thousands of home supporters, taking advantage of the French bank holiday, gathered outside the Stade Velodrome and set off a barrage of fireworks.
They had also let off fireworks numerous times throughout Monday night in front of Tottenham’s hotel.
Spurs knew they would advance with a win or a draw, while Marseille knew they would advance with a victory.
Before Veretout had an excellent chance to break the tie when Hugo Lloris palmed away his shot, Eric Bailly was pulled off early due to continuing injury issues.
Then, however, the Spurs suffered a setback when Son had to leave the game midway through the first period after taking a significant blow to the cheekbone.
In the 87th minute, Kolasinac, a former Arsenal player, missed a free header at the far post, giving Spurs a scare.
With a tie, it appeared like the game would be over, but Spurs ensured victory when Kane found Hojbjerg, who scored forcefully to quiet the raucous Marseille crowd.
Spurs Win for Conte
Conte cut an unhappy figure as he watched the race from the stands at the Stade Velodrome, but he soon had good cause to be optimistic after another challenging effort.
Tottenham had no choice but to go about things the difficult way, and for long stretches, they appeared to be performing well below their standard caliber.
For example, it took Tottenham’s talisman Harry Kane a full 51 minutes to get his first real shot at goal.
The old Tottenham might have disintegrated after conceding right before the break. But Conte has strengthened their resiliency lately, and they showed their mettle with a valiant second-half performance.
Conte’s team earned their first victory in this competition on French territory, and as a result, they will now be one of the seeded clubs in Monday’s Round of 16 draws.
The Latest Injury To Son
Lenglet and Hojbjerg received all the attention, but in the days to come, the condition of Son-Heung Min will be reviewed since he left the game with apparent serious injuries.
The South Korean star was bewildered and dazed after receiving a head injury after an aerial collision.
The replacement was made correctly in the first half, but he needed assistance when he left the field and made his way to the tunnel.
With the World Cup only 19 days away, the focus will shift from updates on his club-related fitness to inquiries about his eligibility for his nation.
On November 24, South Korea will play Uruguay in the World Cup opener.
