On the brink of disaster, Tottenham exploded at White Lane to rout Young Boys 4-0 to advance to the group stage of the Champions league.
This is the first trip for Spurs in the quest of ultimate prize in club futebol-the Champions League.
It looked bleak for Tottenham after they fell behind 3-0 on the road to the Swiss side Young Boys before rallying to score two goals to make the final score a respectable 3-2.
These two away goals were of utmost importance.
Harry Redknapp had his chargers breathing firing at home.
Peter Crouch dented the nets in the 5th minute.
Jermain Defoe added a controversial goal in the 32nd minute.
Defoe controlled the ball with his arm before depositing it in the back of the net.
The Crouch Man added to more markers to complete his hat trick.
Way to go Harry me boy.
The only downer was superman Jermain Defoe needs to go under the knife to repair a torn groin.
This will set the Spurs back.
Defoe is one of the key players for Tottenham.
Let’s see how Spurs will handle the loss of a very good player.
I have a hunch Spurs will drop back to at least mid table.
The loss of Jermain Defoe hurts big time.
Now Harry and his guys will now find out first hand what it is like to juggle Champions League, EPL, Carling Cup, and FA Cup in a season.
Just ask Sir Alex, Wenger, and Carlo Ancelotti about this. These men face this year in and year out.
Welcome to the big time Harry me Boy.
This is not an easy task.
Players will play about 75 matches in a single season and this will lead to lots of wrecks.
Harry me Boy you’ll find out first hand.
You have when Jermain Defoe will miss at least a month or so.
Hats off to Tottenham for getting to the group stage of the Champions League.
Kudos.
