Spurs were excellent, Inter Milan diabolical. A 3-0 victory effectively leaves Inter needing snookers in the San Siro next week - but will the absence of Gareth Bale through suspension make a key difference?

And the referee blows the final whistle, Spurs win 3-0.

Bale tumbles in the box - the referee has a word with him and the Wales international looks stunned. Could have been a second yellow...

Defoe cuts inside, never looking for a team-mate, and his shot is blocked.

Three minutes to be added on.

Spurs fans sing out the oles whenever their team passes the ball.

Guarin sees a shot on the edge of the area blocked, it bounces harmlessly through to Friedel.

Walker sprints to the byline to get a cross in but can only pick out Handanovic's gloves.

Guarin very nearly plays Cassano in over the top. Crucial times at White Hart Lane.

Teasing ball into the box from Cassano on the right, it bends in for Guarin but runs just in front of him - goal-kick.

Spurs' passing has just deteriorated slightly in the last 10 minutes, no longer finding the white shirts like they were.

No sign of Inter pushing for that away goal.

Lennon has picked up a knock and needs some treatment.

Gallas with a rare foray forward, squared to Holtby on the D but his shot deflects straight to Handanovic who collects at the second attempt.

Bale almost flicks and tricks his way through into the box but it runs out. "Bale, Bale" the Spurs fans still sing.

Inter starting to improve now, what a difference an away goal could make in this tie.

A clever free-kick from Cambiasso puts Palacio through on goal and Friedel has to make a good save - though he shouldn't have been given the chance. Spurs escape.

Guarin caught by Livermore and this time it is a free-kick.

Palacio's cross has too much on it and Cambiasso has no chance. Goal-kick.

Brilliant run from Lennon, skipping into the box after picking up a fine pass from Parker. But Handanovic speads himself superbly to block Lennon's shot.
