Play by play
<b>FT</b> Spurs have that crucial away goal as well as a clean sheet and they have one foot in the quarter-finals.
<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.
<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.
<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.
<b>FT</b> That's the last action of the game as the ref blows the final. Great win for Spurs.
