AC Milan’s Gennaro Gattuso got just a four-match ban for his ‘attacks’ on Spurs coach Joe Jordan.
The Italian midfielder grabbed the Scot by the throat and after the game headbutted him.
It’s a disgrace that UEFA only gave Gattuso a four-match ban, it should have been at least double!

“Oh what a goal… it’s Danny Rose on his Premier League debut with a memorable strike… can you believe it?” I certainly can and just want to watch it over and over. So special.

If Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko does join, what exactly are we getting? I think this video gives us a very good idea.

Spurs defender Younes Kaboul is considering making the move to Sunderland.
This comes after the Frenchman’s agent, Rudy Raba, recently said: “Younes wouldn’t join Sunderland even if there was an earthquake.”
However, Raba said today: “Younes was very impressed with [Sunderland manager] Roy Keane when he met him, especially with his vision for Sunderland.
“He was also very impressed with the city, stadium and facilities which, to be fair, are second to none.
“Younes also appreciated the fact that Roy and Sunderland have given him a couple of days to make a decision. I now expect him to make up his mind in the next 24 hours.”

Blackburn Rovers have denied putting a £17m price tag on reported Spurs target David Bentley.
Blackburn chairman John Williams said: “Contrary to speculation in the media, we have not put a price on David’s head because we don’t work like that.
“The situation is we have had two bids for David, both of which have been rejected.
“However, if we got a bid that was in line with current market values, then we will refer it to our manager Paul Ince. It becomes a football decision after that.
“As I’ve said all along, we are under no financial pressure to sell because David is only one year into a four-year contract.”

The Daily Mail report that we’ve agreed to pay the £11.5m get-out clause of Sevilla winger Diego Capel, however this looks inaccurate as Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido denies that this is the case.
He told ABC Sevilla: “After talks with his representatives, I do not have any information about Tottenham being prepared to pay his clause, which is 15.6million euros [£12.36m].
“What I would ask is whether a foreign club could exercise the buy-out clause in Spain?”
The same paper are again reporting that we’ve won the race to sign Manchester City defender Richard Dunne.
Robbie Keane’s international team-mate has one-year remaining on his deal at City, and would cost just £5m.
At 28, he’s entering his prime, and would definitely be a bargain buy.

Something that is guaranteed at White Hart Lane is goals, and goals there were last night.
Ashley Cole’s challenge on Alan Hutton was absolutely appalling, he could have broken the Scot’s leg! I still find it hard to believe he only got a yellow card!
Some of defending was again suspect, especially for Chelsea’s first goal. Their second was definitely offside!
I think Paul Robinson could have done better with their third, but I guess he had to spread himself to block the shot.
Tom Huddlestone’s equaliser to make it 3-3 was sweetly struck, but the goal to make it 4-4 by Robbie Keane was just sublime. As can be heard on the video, “Pick that one out!”
It’s a pity Dimitar Berbatov didn’t make it 5-4 on the night to give us the win, but all in all, it was a great game.

If you haven’t seen the goals from last night’s game yet, or want to see them again, you can below. Enjoy!
Below you can see a video of Robbie Keane scoring the penalty against Blackburn Rovers. Unfortunately the goal wasn’t enough, but it’s a cool video as it was taken by a fan in the crowd.
