Tottenham Hotspur 2 FC Basle 2 - Telegraph.co.uk

Switzerlandas effectiveness in World Cup qualifying has also pointed towards this being truly a very promising young number of participants and, fresh from their success against Zenit St Petersburg in the last round, Basle started with little visible fear. Three chances were developed in rapid succession, with Fabian Schar and then Marco Streller testing the reactions of 41-year-old Brad Friedel before Markus Steinhofer volleyed just over from the edge of the penalty area. Tottenham rocked defensively, but in addition quickly found their approaching beat. Bale required Yann Sommeras first save your self after Moussa Dembele had won a free-kick on the side of the location. Kyle Naughton also had an attempt deflected narrowly broad. Tottenhamas beat was upset when Aaron Lennon was pushed off after only 23 minutes with a knee injury. Gylfi Sigurdsson replaced him on the best but, with Tottenham modifying, Basle assumed control of the link. Assou-Ekotto had awarded Mohamed Salah too much room down Tottenhamas left and, from his cross, Steller made exceptionally to shoot past Friedel. The article shortly rescued Spurs but Valentin Stocker responded quickest on the jump to roll the ball in to the net. More poor defending used when Jan Vertonghen deflected a corner towards the unmarked Fabian Frei, who went Basle right into a two-goal lead. The seriousness of the situation encouraged a powerful reaction from Tottenham. A series of scuffed pictures wound up with the ball falling at Emmanuel Adebayoras feet and he led his finish past Sommer. The keeper then preserved from Lewis Holtbyas shot, with the jump slipping to Scott Parker, limited to Holtby to accidentally a' and somewhat humorous a' block his team-mateas goal-bound reach. The equaliser did arrive in the moment when Sigurdsson beat Sommer from long range with a deflected picture. As the match joined extra time, nevertheless, Bale suffered his injury and a feeling of relief was replaced by hushed silence while he was stretchered from the pitch. The theory that Tottenham are a one-man team is all about to be tested fully.
