'Ill-judged, ill-timed and rather stupid' is the way the commentators are describing Martin Skrtel's attempted tackle on Gareth Bale... and, well, they're right.

Spurs have taken full advantage of the situation, scoring twice in quick succession following that red card. Jermain Defoe was the first to find the net, turning Luis Enrique before firing in at the near post and Emmanuel Adebayor made it 3-0 seconds later after taking advantage of a Pepe Reina fumble with a clever little flick.
