Tottenham loses points at EUFA Europe League

There can only be one word to describe Tottenham’s performance this Wednesday at the UEFA Europe League: sloppy. The Spurs faced off against PAOK Saloaka at home this Wednesday, November 30th, and the results were not good for the Spurs.
Harry Redknapp was disappointed indeed at the way his team played the first 20 minutes of the match. The team’s messy performances gave PAOK an advantage and a final victory of 2-1, with goals from Stefanos Athanasiadis and Dimitris Salpindis. Some relief was of course granted when Kostas Stafylidis was sent away with a red card for handling Harry Kane’s goal bound effort allowing Luka Modric to score the team’s first goal from the consequent penalty spot. Jermain Defoe got in a goal but was dismissed when the referee became aware of Defoe’s foul on Pablo Contreras, leaving Spurs fans frantic.  Since there was no equalizer in the second half and the only goal came from Modric, the Spurs lost the match. This North London club’s hopes of qualifying to the next round from group A look pretty slim. Now, their only hope now is to beat those talented Russians when the time comes.
