Spurs' fear as crowd threatens to kill Kanoute

Tottenham are still trying to make contact with striker Fredi Kanoute after Mali fans threatened to kill him when their pitch invasion ended a World Cup qualifier against Togo in Bamako.

Mali were a goal up until the 83rd minute when Togo scored two quick goals that looked certain to win the match for them – until some of the 70,000 crowd rioted and stormed on to the pitch demanding: “Give us Frederic Kanoute and Mamadou Bayoko. We are going to kill them.”
