Ryan Flamingo scored an extra-time winner as PSV came from behind to beat Juventus 4-3 on aggregate and book their place in the Champions League last 16.

Peter Bosz’s side trailed 2-1 from last week’s first leg at the Allianz Stadium.

Nevertheless, after a low-key first half, they struck first eight minutes after the restart, with Ivan Perisic firing a low drive into the far corner.

Juventus regained their lead in the tie 10 minutes later when a free-kick was only cleared as far as Timothy Weah, who drilled home from 20 yards – with the goal awarded following a VAR review after it was initially ruled out for offside.

However, PSV hit back in the 74th minute as a ball into the area broke loose, and Ismael Saibari fired into the roof of the net to force extra-time.

The hosts continued to carry the greater attacking threat and scored what proved to be the winner in the 98th minute, when Michele Di Gregorio parried a cross straight to Flaminco, who made no mistake from close range.

Data Debrief: Comeback kings PSV stall Juve’s impressive streak

PSV have won a Champions League knockout tie for the first time since beating Arsenal in February 2007, while this is the first time they have progressed from a two-legged tie in the competition having lost the first leg.

Perisic broke the deadlock on the night as, at 36 years and 17 days, he became the oldest player to score in both legs of a Champions League knockout tie.

Meanwhile, having progressed from 20 consecutive knockout ties in the Champions League and European Cup when winning the first leg, Juventus saw that impressive streak stretching back to the 1978-79 season brought to a halt.
