Ramos angry as sorry Spurs feel the Forss

MIKAEL Forssell’s first hat-trick in English football undoubtedly owed a debt to Tottenham’s party hangover, but that didn’t curtail his own celebrations after the most memorable afternoon of his career.

Still only 26, Forsell has endured a catalogue of injuries since moving to England nine years ago and was almost shipped out to Hanover last season. But since the arrival of manager Alex McLeish, who once tried to buy him at Rangers, the striker has started to blossom. He has threatened goals and Spurs proved surprisingly hapless victims.

“I dreamt about a day like this,” said Forssell. “It’s been a long road, but now I’m hoping my best years are still ahead of me. Even during the darkest days when I wasn’t playing and was put aside completely, I still believed I had it in me. I have learned that anything can happen in football. I love this club and feel I have unfinished business here.”
