Champions League Nightmare

Tottenham Hotspur 1 - AC Milan 0

Late goal from Peter Crouch has given Tottenham one goal advantage on their Champions League match versus AC Milan. Sadly, this is happened after we just had a convincing 4-0 win against Parma on the previous week

Allegri had to make early change on 17^th  minutes after Christian Abbiati received a knock on the head as the result of Peter Crouch challenge. Yet, on the first half Milan clearly clueless, playing without direction, guided by Seedorf to point the way. We can really consider we’re lucky not to conceded any goal on this half.

Second half, was much much better. For once, Allegri made the right decision by substituting clueless Seedorf with Pato. A convincing second half until Flamini threw a two foot challenge on to Vedran Corluka. Unnecessary violent tackle that should be rewarded with red card, that ended Vedran Corluka’s game for that night.

Things got worse with Gattusso being a cry baby after conceding a foul and yellow carded after complaining the referee decision. This means that he will miss the second leg on Milan as result of yellow card accumulation. And after two unfortunate Yepes header that met the crossbar, Milan finally conceded after a quick counter attack from Aaron Lennon – who proven to be a nightmare for Milan’s defender – who skipped past Yepes to provide an assist for Peter Crouch. 1-0 Tottenham.

After 90 minutes Milan’s nightmare was not ended. Frustated Gattuso decided to add more by headbutting Joe Jordan, Spurs’s assistant manager. Reckless act that undoubtedly resulting him longer than a one match ban from his previous challenge.

Really bad night for Milan.
