Newcastle advances in EL, Spurs and Liverpool must wait

Lloris produced a true man-of-the-match worthy display to keep his team in control of the game. With a string of exceptional saves, Tottenham Hotspurs stayed level with Lazio in their Europa League match last Thursday night. Lazio performed better on the night and, if Lloris had not pulled some excellent saves, they could have been ahead by 1-2 goals. Bale did have a good goal effort ruled out in the early stages, but most of the goal threats came from the Lazio side. Tottenham are one step closer to the Europa league knockout stages and an unexpected turn of events led to the UEFA deciding if Lazio has to answer for anti-semitic chants. Before the game even took place, the event had been overshadowed by an attack in Rome on Tottenham supporters on Thursday morning. Eleven people got injured with one recovering from multiple stab wounds. UEFA refused to comment on the issue yesterday evening, saying that the matter would only be addressed if it was mentioned in the delegate's report. UEFA has reportedly fined Lazio £32,500 for monkey chanting at Tottenham players back in September and Villas-Boas hopes that the UEFA will move just as swiftly to establish the true facts for the events that recently took place. Tottenham vs. Panathinaikos is an upcoming match that we have tickets available for, along with PSV vs. Napoli tickets and tickets for other Europa League clashes. Young Boys 2-2 Liverpool Liverpool missed a huge opportunity to qualify for the next knockout phase of this season's Europa League as they couldn't get past a 2-2 draw with Young Boys. Despite getting ahead twice during the game and appearing to be far more dangerous than the Young Boys side, Liverpool ended the match with a draw as they failed to stop two fiercely hit goals from the opponents. Liverpool were well aware that a win here would give them a guaranteed place as the Group A automatic qualifier, but the work that Cole and Shelvey carried out was soon cancelled out by the Young Boys. This leaves Liverpool with work to do if they want to qualify for continental game fixtures that will take place next year.

Newcastle scored an underwhelming 1-1 score, but the difference for Newcastle was that it was enough to secure them a Europa League place. Pardew's men now have to win as they play in France in early December if they are to gain back their space at the top. It won't do much for the Europa League chance, but it could prove to be an important win as the drop outs for the Champions League start preparing for the new year. The meagre result wasn't Pardew's only disappointment as Ben Arfa limped off with an injury to his hamstring and Cisse had to follow him off the pitch not long after the half-time mark.
