Tottenham Hotspur vs Inter Milan Highlights
Tottenham announced themselves as a European force to reckon with by producing a stunning display of attacking football to beat Champions League holders Inter Milan. On a glory, glory night, not witnessed at White Hart Lane since Spurs last rubbed shoulders with the game’s elite almost half a century earlier, Harry Redknapp’s side were simply irresistible.
Their win was enough to take them above Inter on goal difference at the top of Group A and almost ensured a place in the knockout phase. In what was a typically-breathless game, Tottenham magnificently matched Inter , but Gareth Bale once again stole the show with another jaw-dropping performance less than a fortnight on from his stunning San Siro hat-trick, but this time he finished on the winning side.
There were also some world-class displays from the likes of Luka Modric, and Rafael van der Vaart, who combined to open the scoring in the 18th minute.
Bale brilliantly set up the second one for Peter Crouch to end his recent goal drought, Samuel Eto’o set up a nervy finish, but Bale was on fire and another cross saw substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko seal a historic win.

Cagliari vs Inter Milan Highlights
Victory against Cagliari saw Inter Milan return to the top of Serie A for the first time since winning the title last May, but only after the referee threatened to halt the game following racist chanting against Samuel Eto’o. The abuse did not have any effect on the Cameroon striker, though, and he scored the decisive goal of the game in the 39th minute to take the Nerazzurri level with AC Milan at the top of the table. Alessandro Matri was guilty of missing some good chances for an unlucky Cagliari side, while Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar will take a lot of the credit for Inter’s win.

Inter Milan vs Rubin Kazan Highlights: UEFA Champions League
Samuel Eto’o fired Inter Milan to a 2-0 win over Rubin Kazan that puts them in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Eto’o ended his goalscoring drought in the competition this season when he scored in the 31st minute to give the Italians the lead.
Mario Balotelli’s powerful free-kick made it 2-0 shortly after the hour mark. Rubin never gave up and were unfortunate not to come back into the game in a dominant display in second half, but just could not find their way to goal and have to settle for a place in the Europa League as consolation.
Inter finished second in Group F, two points behind leaders Barcelona, who won 2-1 at Dynamo Kiev.
