AVB defends sloppy Spurs

Panathinaikos 1 Tottenham 1

Spurs were in complete control of their Europa League Group J game against the Greek side and took the lead after 35 minutes when Michael Dawson glanced Tom Huddlestone’s cross past Orestis Karnezis.

Jermain Defoe, Gareth Bale, Clint Dempsey and Huddlestone then all missed chances to put the game to bed and Panathinaikos took full advantage through striker Toche, who left Dawson for dead and turned in a Giorgos Seitaridis pass 13 minutes from time.
