Spurs blitz Bremen to mark another European milestone

IT may not have had the high drama of their defeat of Inter three weeks ago, but Spurs marked another milestone on their European journey by qualifying for the knock-out stages of the Champions League last night with this easy win over Werder Bremen.

Goals form Younes Kaboul and Luka Modric gave Spurs a first-half lead they thoroughly deserved, and a late strike from Peter Crouch gave the scoreline a realistic look as Harry Redknapp’s men won at a canter.

“It is fantastic for us to get through,” said Redknapp. “That was a difficult group when it was drawn. Overall I think we’ve done very well.”
