Solid Spurs hold off Milan to progress

A brave defensive performance from Tottenham Hotspur saw them progress into the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time, as they drew 0-0 with Milan at White Hart Lane. After an even start, the Italian side came to dominate the first half, thanks to the passing of Clarence Seedorf from deep and the intelligent movement of Alexandre Pato up front. Their best chance came when William Gallas had to clear a deflected Robinho shot off the line after Heurelho Gomes had come too far from his line. The Brazilian goalkeeper also had to make saves from his compatriots Pato and Robinho. Spurs’ best chances came thanks to Peter Crouch’s height: he put one header wide, while Rafael van der Vaart nearly scored from a knock-downs. As the game went on Milan struggled to break down Spurs’ excellent defence, well marshalled by Gallas and Michael Dawson. MORE
