The Daily Telegraph drew attention to the fact it was also at the same venue Tottenham’s challenge for a UEFA Cup place had ended with a defeat last season.

Martin Jol: "Last year we needed a point up here and couldn't get it but we've improved in certain areas and it shows. Now we have a winning mentality and a great goalkeeper in Paul Robinson. This was the sixth time we've had to come back this season and it showed we have a great team spirit, physical strength and character.

"It’s disappointing to concede three goals but on the other hand, if you can score three and in the future four or five if we are cleverer, then we can go and win these sort of games."
