Bent lifts White Hart Lane gloom

Tottenham 2 Wisla Krakow 1

Bent headed home with 17 minutes remaining, the striker’s third in as many matches, to earn Spurs their first victory during a frustrating start to the campaign.

Even that only slightly dampened the spirits of the boisterous away support whose team nowrequire a 1-0 win to reach the group stages of Europe’s second-tier competition.
