As someone with a soft spot for Spurs, I really thought they were going all the way in the UEFA Cup this season. Their name was on the cup, or so I thought until about ten minutes into last night’s second-leg quarter final, when they found themselves 2-0 down to a very strong Sevilla side (lovely finish by Spurs old boy Freddie Kanoute for the second); perhaps the home team were put off by the Spaniards’ shockingly bright away kit.
Spurs fought back well, but they couldn’t quite manage a winner. This was always going to be the worst tie for both teams – it should have been the final – but the Primera Liga got one over on the Premiership this time. Bah. Still, I could watch these two play all day. Match highlights/goals below:
