Moment of the match. Robinho's shot is cleared off the line by William Gallas
"It was a match of few clear-cut chances with Robinho going closest when his deflected shot needed to be cleared off the line by William Gallas and the final 0-0 scoreline, backed at a high of 13.5, ended up not being that surprising an outcome."

Tottenham are into the quarter-finals of the Champions League after successfully defending their 1-0 lead from the first leg.

Peter Crouch had a couple of half chances but was unable to add to the goal he scored in the first leg which was ultimately the difference between the two teams.
Spurs were matched at [2.6] when the draw was first made and are now into just [16.5] to go on and win the Champions League in their debut season in the competition.
Over in Germany Schalke knocked out Valencia courtesy of a 3-1 win. The hosts drifted to [9.4] after going a goal behind whilst a half-time draw with them winning at full-time was backed at [7.6]. They're still priced at [60.0] to go on and win the competition.
