BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A late goal by substitute Lucas Moura sent Tottenham through to the Champions League's round of 16 after earning a 1-1 draw at Barcelona on Tuesday.

Moura scored from a pass by Harry Kane in the 85th minute at Camp Nou, cancelling out a superb early solo goal by Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele.

Barcelona rested Lionel Messi for the first hour having already locked up first place before the match.

The Spanish league leaders finished Group B with 14 points, while Tottenham secured second place and the other spot in the knockout rounds by edging Inter Milan on goal difference after both finished with eight points.

Inter was held to a 1-1 draw at home against PSV Eindhoven in the group's other match, sending the Italian side to the Europa League.

Barcelona played with several backups and got a stellar performance by goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, who made several saves until finally beaten by Moura.
