TOTTENHAM 1 SLAVIA PRAGUE 1 (Spurs win 3-3 on aggregate)

Tottenham produced a hesistant performance in front of their home fans as they scrapped through into the UEFA Cup last 16.

It started well for Spurs with youngster Jamie O'Hara firing in an early shot that deflected off Martin Latka to give them the lead in the seventh minute.

And as in Prague a week ago Spurs dominated the first half only to be pegged back in a below par second half performance.

Matej Krajcik lost Jamie O'Hara at the back post to score the equaliser early in the second half, and Slavia looked the better side as David Strihavka hit a shot against the post as they tried to take the game into extra time.

Milan Ivana then had a free-kick brilliantly saved by Paul Robinson, returning after 10 games out of the team, and putting in an impressive performance ahead of the Carling Cup final on Sunday.

Spurs held on in the final stages to book a tie with PSV Eindhoven in the last 16 as attention turns towards Wembley.
