Crouch on fire as San Siro erupts

EXTRAORDINARY scenes at the San Siro, as Tottenham maintained their fairytale first season in the Champions League by beating AC Milan, currently top of Serie A, on their own turf.

Peter Crouch scored the all-important goal after an electrifying run by Aaron Lennon to put Spurs in the driving seat for the second leg of this last-16 game, which Gennaro Gattuso will mss.

The Milan midfielder received a yellow card to rule him out, but he could face further action after appearing to attack Joe Jordan, Tottenham’s assistant coach and former Milan striker, after the final whistle. But nothing could take away this remarkable result for Harry Redknapp’s team.
