Spurs suffer penalty pain as Ramos cup run ends

JUANDE RAMOS’ dream of a UEFA Cup hat-trick ended despite a stunning Dimitar Berbatov volley as Tottenham crashed out on penalties against PSV Eindhoven in Holland last night.

Ramos has endured a few scares winning the competition with Sevilla in the past two seasons — goalkeeper Andres Palop scored at this stage a year ago — and this time Berbatov came to his rescue.

The Bulgarian’s ferocious drive cancelled out PSV’s advantage from the first leg before the shoot-out, with PSV earning a place in the quarter-finals after Jermaine Jenas and Pascal Chimbonda failed from the spot.
