This was an emphatic victory for one side but an end that satisfied neither. Tottenham Hotspur cruised to victory but Harry Redknapp was still left to rue elimination from the Europa League. His Shamrock Rovers counterpart, Michael O'Neill, did not even get a goal to commemorate his final match in charge of the club that he guided to unprecedented heights in a three-year reign.Redknapp has made no secret of the fact that he considered this competition to be far less significant than the Champions League but still professed to being dismayed that the result in the group's other game between Paok Salonika and Rubin Kazan meant that those two teams qualified at Spurs' expense.
"I had a feeling that match would end in a draw," said Redknapp wryly of the result. His chief reason for wanting to continue in the competition was that it provided an arena for his fringe players to flex muscles that are mostly inactive while the first-choice team challenges for the Premier League. Some of those players are upcoming youngsters but many are established internationals and the team that Tottenham deployed against Rovers, although featuring nine changes from the one that contested Spurs' last domestic outing, was still far too strong for the Irish champions. Yet there was no dishonour in the defeat for Rovers, who had excelled just to reach this stage of the tournament for the first time in their history and were not destroyed in any of their group games, although they lost them all.
Rovers, despite having played only one competitive match since their domestic season ended six weeks ago, showed far more gusto than the visitors early on and James Paterson seemed to have rewarded their greater appetite with a goal in the second minute, but the referee ruled — wrongly — that he was offside when he sent his 20-yard curling shot in off the post. Ken Oman slashed wide for the hosts in the 12th minute after more dozy defending by Tottenham but thereafter the Premier League side took control.
