The German outfit comfortably beat a much-changed Spurs side for the second week running, with the striker scoring twice on the night and Heung-min Son adding a consolation
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Borussia Dortmund eased into the Europa League quarter-finals with an aggregate 5-1 win over Tottenham.
The striker ended any slender hopes Spurs had of overhauling a 3-0 deficit from the first leg when he beat Hugo Lloris from long range in the 24th minute.
Aubameyang took his tally for the season to 35 with a second goal in the 70th minute, with Lloris failing to keep out a powerful drive that deflected into the net off the Frenchman's right arm.
Neven Subotic's weak back pass allowed Son Heung-min score, although his effort was no more than a consolation for a Tottenham side who were thoroughly outplayed over the two legs.
Mauricio Pochettino's side can now solely focus on their bid to win the Premier League title after suffering their first home loss in Europe in 10 outings.
The Tottenham manager - who said prior to the game he wanted his team to show the defeat in Germany was an "accident" – left Harry Kane on the bench, while midfield duo Mousa Dembele and Christian Eriksen were missing from the squad entirely.
