Peter Crouch is already causing the AC Milan back line major issues with his height, and he's had a reasonable penalty shout turned down after being prevented from jumping by Ignazio Abate when he tried to meet a cross. He still managed to make contact with the ball, knocking it back down into the centre, where Christian Abiati and Rafael van der Vaart clashed for the ball, resulting in the goalkeeper taking a kick in the face from Tottenham's Dutch playmaker. If this all sounds like a repeat of the first leg, well, it is.

At the other end of the pitch, Alexandre Pato ripped through the Spurs defence to send in a cross of his own, but while the ball managed to make it through into some dangerous positions in front of Huerelhio Gomes’ goal, there were no red shirts able to meet it. Right now we’ve got an immensely open game - both teams are attacking in numbers making transitions very exciting.
