Play by play

  1. <b>FT</b> Spurs have that crucial away goal as well as a clean sheet and they have one foot in the quarter-finals.

  2. <b>FT</b> Gattuso will probably get some sort of punishment for that but it can't hide the fact the Spurs have bagged a famous win tonight.

  3. <b>FT</b> Players and staff have pulled the two of them apart and you have to say that Gattuso is a very poor loser.

  4. <b>FT</b> But there is more action as Gattuso continues his spat with Joe Jordan at the final whistle... it looked like he headbutted the Spurs man.
