Spurs 4-0 BSC Young Boys: Glory nights are back

What a way to overturn what Redknapp termed as a great defeat in the first leg. He of the gangly frame saved our bacon. A hattrick from Peter Crouch and a fantastic though controversial Defoe strike gave us a 4-0 win over the boys from Berne at White Hart Lane. Crouchy started of the festivities with a header after a beautiful Bale cross inside of 5minutes. Defoe then finished beautifully after he appeared to touch the ball with his hand before slotting it past the keeper. Crouch then headed a third in the second half from a corner and then completed his hattrick from the penalty spot after Gareth Bale had been brought down in the area.
Harry seemed to have had the right idea, castigated by some quarters over an overadventurous mentality in the first leg, the tagline tonight was "swarm all over them." The absence of Modric did not exactly aid the cause which meant that Wilson started beside Huddlestone. While my admittedly sparse medical knowledge had me querying the wisdom in starting Defoe ahead of his upcoming surgery, I was proven completely wrong in the first half. Ledley's return to the lineup was a breath of relief and may have directly resulted in our cleansheet. It wasnt all joy with Gomes a casualty for the night substituted at half time with an injury.


Glory nights at the Lane are back!
