Tottenham Hotspur Vs. AC Milan: Ibrahimovic Free Kick Draws Game’s First Save

Time for a decent spell from the visitors, as AC Milan make their attacking presence known against Tottenham. Working the ball down their right wing via the silky feet of Robinho, they had managed to win a free kick right by the corner flag, from which Alexandre Pato failed to clear the first man - a bit of a waste there. Milan continue to press but eventually gave up possession when they were caught offside. Oh, and if you're hearing some boos, you know that Mathieu Flamini is on the ball. Ex-Arsenal players who injure Vedran Corluka are not often welcome at White Hart Lane.

Later, Kevin-Prince Boateng managed to earn another free kick after Sandro stepped on his foot, which led to the first save of the match - Zlatan Ibrahimovic smacked a 35 yard shot in that Heurelhio Gomes was just about equal to, pushing the ball behind for a corner. Boateng drew another save from Pato's delivery, but the move was called off for a foul anyway. Right now Milan are in the ascendancy, but in a game like this things can change in a heartbeat.
