Ottavi Champions - The Spurs stormed the Meazza: Crouch decides

Tottenham ago and conquered the company deserved the Meazza. The Spurs put a serious claim to qualification after a 1-0 Crouch and, in return, the holder can also count on some more (Bale at all). A bad night for Milan, almost never in the match and strangely embarrassed before their fans. SUPER START for the Spurs.

Without Jenas (suspended), Bale, Kaboul, Hutton, King and Huddlestone, Modric and recovered only for the bench, Harry Redknapp does not change so dear 4-4-1-1, which is based on the quality of Van der Vaart and Pienaar's raids on the one hand and, above all, Lennon on the other. And the number 7 of the Spurs makes life difficult for Antonini, regularly skipped.

The British start strong and AC Milan, free of all new purchases (except Legrottaglie), tremble. 11 'Corluka triggers the speed of Lennon cross and tense smanaccia Abbiati saved the goal. Skip one minute and Van der Vaart, from the edge, try the end, but it is too central. At 18 ', moreover, further complicated plans Allegri, who is forced to give up Abbiati because of a hit on the head: Amelia enters.

GOMES dormant. The public, who rushed en masse to the Meazza, begins to lose patience and we hear the first murmurs. AC Milan is still too conservative, leaving ample room for the British gusts. Tottenham is the master of the field, despite lacking a midfield player for three-quarters of the owners.

Palacios does not leave a breathing space to the lengthy Seedorf, while Sandro is a pleasant surprise to Redknapp, who this season had used the eyedropper and, instead, prefers the San Siro as talented Kranjcar (Modric alternate nominated, veteran appendicitis operation, and then only on the bench).

Gomes does not make a parade is a village and ends with another shudder through the door Rossoneri: Amelia is forced to save up for a corner shot from outside the poisonous Van der Vaart. ENTER Pato, but changes little. In Milan Seedorf out of a negative, in Pato, with playmaker Robinho that scale.

But it is still at Tottenham to fear: Van der Vaart tries with a brilliant lob and the ball touches the intersection of the poles of Amelia. The Rossoneri are trying to lay siege, but earn only corner. Two of these, Yepes off on all severely Gomes agrees that if the quarry on both occasions.

Corluka then is forced to abandon the field of un'entrataccia Flamini will review Woodgate. Tempers heat up and Gattuso puts his hands on Joe Jordan (one of many contributors Redknapp): gesture really bad. Then comes even Van der Vaart, not better, and gives way to Modric. Flamini is not lucky at 71 'after backing Pato and his shot was rejected for a corner.

DECIDED CROUCH. Redknapp takes off Pienaar, inputting Kranjcar, and 80 'is the Tottenham goal-game. Ibrahimovic missed a support, Sandro understands everything and Modric Lennon triggers in the open: the external jumps Yepes, is the top striker Crouch and supports a network easy easy. Then there remains only the time for a rescue Dawson on Robinho, Ibrahimovic for a goal annulled for a foul sull'onnipresente Dawson (there was also off-sdie Swede) and, finally, to end a shameful brawl caused by normally Gattuso ( a confusion that then continued in the subway).
