Unlike in recent times, Spurs didn’t let the advantage slip and increased the pressure in the second half with Greaves’ second.

Brugge 2 Spurs 1 UEFA Cup (2nd Round 1st Leg)
Spurs were so concerned about security for this game they cancelled all excursions and asked fans not to travel. Spurs lost but Clive Allen scored the important away goal.
The main talking point after the game was the dismissal of Glenn Hoddle following a second booking. After awarding Brugge a free-kick near the Spurs box, Hoddle played the ball which the referee interpreted as time wasting or dissent. Hoddle claimed that he hadn't heard the whistle over the noise fo the crowd.
Spurs won the 2nd leg by three goals to nil.
