Rocket Hotspur won 1-3 in the first leg away from home in the CL Top 16, without the benefit of their manager to guide them. Considering it was mostly reserves and subs this was a great result. Former starting striker Pasquel Le Guen provided an assist and two goals to earn him a 10 rating.

In the league, where we had dropped from first to third while others played their games before us, wholesale changes were made to the starting line up. With only 2 players from the CL game retaining their places.

We dominated from the off, but our shooting wasn't up to scratch, with only 1 on target from 9 in the first half, as we went 1-0 into the break. It remained at 1-0 despite the opposition losing a player to a red card, but with about 20 minutes left on the clock, we made a couple of quick changes and managed to score two late goals to seal a 3-0 win and move back to the top of the league by 2 points.
