Villas-Boas fumes at vile Lazio chants

Lazio 0 Tottenham 0

The home supporters chanted “Juden Tottenham” during the first half of the goalless draw, which came the day after fans of the London club were attacked in a vicious row in a city centre pub.

Uefa fined Lazio £32,500 (€40,000) for their fans ‘monkey chanting’ at three Spurs players during the reverse fixture in September, and Villas-Boas hopes the organisation move swiftly to establish the facts.

“It will take another investigation,” the Spurs boss said. “We will have to wait and see if there is anything to act upon. If there is Uefa have to act.”

The game had already been overshadowed before kick-off by the shocking and brutal attack on a group of the club’s supporters early in the day.

Around 20 men burst in to the Drunken Sailor pub in Campo dei Fiori at around 1am and beat the fans with sticks and glass bottles. One fan is recovering in hospital after being stabbed in the head and leg.

Tottenham should have taken an early lead when Gareth Bale latched on to Tom Carroll’s pass and beat Claudio Marchetti, but the Welshman’s shot was wrongly ruled out for offside.

Spurs were on the back foot for most of the rest of the game and only escaped with a point thanks to Hugo Lloris’ heroics.

The result means Spurs only have to draw their final game against Panathinaikos next month to make the knockout stages of the competition.

LAZIO: Marchetti, Cavanda, Biava, Ciani, Radu, Mauri, Gonzalez, Ledesma, Hernanes (Ederson 69), Lulic (Candreva 78), Kozak (Floccari 78).
