Famagusta 1 Spurs 1
Team line-up: Robinson, Lee, Gardner, Stalteri, Dawson, Malbranque, Boateng, Huddlestone, Zokora, Defoe, Bent
Unsurprisingly Martin Jol made huge changes to the team, who were already 6-1 up from the first leg. Spurs fans have been calling for Kevin-Prince Boateng to make an appearance for many a week now, and after all the hype, boy what a disappointment he was. The entire game was dull, dull, dull and I could hardly be bothered to watch.
Spurs should have been two or three goals to the good in the first half but Defoe couldn't find the space between the posts.
The home side took the lead in the 54th minute although it was blatant handball, but none of the officials spotted it. Robbo received a yellow card for complaining. Following the introduction of Keane and Bale, suddenly there was a bit more energy and after four minutes of being on the pitch, Robbie converted a move involving Bale and Bent.
Although overall Spurs went through 7-2 winners, the performances are still lacking a great deal. At the moment I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
