Spurs march on

Robinson was dropped last month and missed 10 games, losing his England place in the process, but was granted a return after Radek Cerny's blunder allowed Slavia Prague back in this tie a week ago.
Spurs extended their slender 2-1 lead from Prague when Jamie O'Hara netted early on but Matej Krajcik's goal - which left Robinson with no chance - meant a nervous second half.
The Spurs keeper was a bystander for the opening exchanges, with Spurs extending their aggregate lead in the seventh minute through O'Hara's first goal for the club.
Frantisek Drizdal failed to clear a cross convincingly, allowing Dimitar Berbatov to control on the edge of the area. O'Hara took over and his left-footed drive took a deflection off Martin Latka to wrong-foot Michal Vorel.
Robinson was finally called into action 10 minutes before the break and he was down well to parry Jaroslav Cerny's low, swerving shot.
Robbie Keane came on at half-time and almost scored with his first touch when he hooked a Lennon cross just wide.
But Slavia got back in the tie in the 50th minute when Krajcik stabbed in at the far post after Daniel Pudil curled a cross beyond the Spurs defence.
David Strihavka then brought a diving save from Robinson and also struck the post as the visitors sensed panic.
Robinson was needed to push Milan Ivana's free-kick around the post as Spurs held on, before Bent struck the crossbar for the hosts in the closing stages.
