Bent grabs hat-trick as Harry magic continues

Tottenham 4 Dinamo Zagreb 0

Darren Bent grabbed a hat-trick against Dinamo Zagreb as Tottenham’s revival under Harry Redknapp continued with UEFA Cup victory at White Hart Lane tonight.

Tom Huddlestone had a hand in all of Bent’s goals and he added a stunner himself with a volley straight out of the Paul Scholes textbook, meeting a corner first time as the Manchester United midfielder famously did eight years ago at Bradford.

Spurs now have three wins and the morale-boosting draw against Arsenal since Redknapp’s appointment as boss – but unlike their last two results they were not made to wait until stoppage time to seal this result.
