Tuesday night’s Champions League clash between debutants Spurs and AC Milan was an eventful one. Peter Crouch scored an 80th minute winner thanks to some great work done by Aaron Lennon as Harry Redknapp’s side took a giant step forward to qualify for the quarter-finals.
The game’s ill-tempered atmosphere commenced when Flamini executed a terrifying tackle on Corluka for which he sustained a 55th minute red card. But the ugliest scenes at the San Siro featured Gennaro Gattuso who was driven by frustration and violence.
Following Flamini’s horror tackle on Corluka, the tension in the match reached an uncontrollable level as Gattuso clashed with Spurs' assistant coach Joe Jordan. In a way or another, Gattuso escaped punishment. But his foul on Pienaar a quarter hour later finally earned him a 76th minute yellow card.
Deep in injury time, AC Milan thought they had equalized through Ibrahimovic. However, the referee ruled out the goal for a foul in the build up. This decision infuriated Gattuso who poured out his anger at the final whistle. Watch the scenes in the videos below.
Following his yellow card, Gattuso received suspension for the return leg at White Hart Lane. But now that’s not all. The AC Milan player is set to receive more punishment from UEFA for his petulant behaviour against Tottenham on Tuesday night.
