SPURS DEFEATED Lyon 2-1 in their Europa League last-32 first leg tie with Lyon at White Hart Lane thanks to two pretty special free-kicks from Gareth Bale.
After missing a sitter minutes earlier, the Welshman made amends by getting his set-piece up and over the French wall on the stroke of half-time for his sixth goal in five games.

On the 55th minute, Cameroon defender Samuel Umtiti drew the Ligue 1 side level with an equally cracking half-volley.

With a draw looking increasingly likely, however, Bale notched his second of the night in dramatic fashion three minutes into time added on.

Griff is back with a bang! Great play from polish paddy! Hail hail!
@Scott Walker: Lennon all over the shop. Mad that still winning but the product is awful
@TheHospitalPass: form has been terrible, hoping with rogic and griff returning, turnbull getting some game time it might improve.
Dismal performance today, but its been that way so far this season, hopefully this one is the wake up call we need before playing them.
Put the kids out in Europe, this season is all about The Ten.
@Robb Stark: 100%. the 10 in a row must be the objective ahead of everything else. Use Europa league and Cups to give squad members playin time and great experience. it will benefit overall in the long run as well.
