BACK FROM THE COLD

Lucky leveller spares awful Spurs blushes

- BY ALASDAIR GOLD

TOTTENHAM returned to Bodo and left with a share of the spoils as they somehow salvaged a draw.

A Jens Petter Hauge double in the second half was exactly what the hosts deserved as they overwhelmed their error-strewn guests for much of the game.

But Spurs' captain for the day Micky van de Ven headed a goal back to set up a dramatic finish.

In the 89th minute an Archie Gray shot was saved by the goalkeeper only to bounce back into the net off Bodo defender Jostein Gundersen to spare Thomas Frank's side's blushes.

Spurs were back in the small Norwegian town by the sea just four months on from their 2-0 victory at the Aspmyra Stadion in the Europa League semi-final second leg back in May.
