Rejuvenated Tottenham leave Trotters in tatters

Not even Fabrice Muamba’s presence could inspire Bolton as Tottenham strengthened their Champions League credentials with the easiest of wins at the Reebok Stadium.

Forty-six days after suffering a cardiac arrest in an FA Cup quarter-final tie at Spurs, Muamba was back at the Reebok for the first time to thank both sets of fans for their support during his astonishing recovery.

Muamba fought back tears as he was given a highly emotional two-minute standing ovation from both sets of fans before Tottenham delivered a crushing blow to Bolton’s hopes of staying up.
