Dogged Spurs go marching on

“ARE you watching, Arsenal?” was the joyous cry ringing round White Hart Lane as another chapter in Tottenham’s remarkable Champions League story was written last night.

Spurs showed their north London neighbours and bitter rivals Arsenal the way to the quarter-finals, succeeding where the Gunners failed, albeit playing the sort of game that was associated with the Arsenal of old.

Never has a goalless draw been celebrated so long and loud, as the final whistle bought the realisation that Spurs are edging further into uncharted territory.
