Quiz! Can you name the players who featured in Inter 4-3 Tottenham, Oct 2010?
The two sides meet at Wembley in a crucial Champions League clash on Wednesday night, eight years on from this absolute classic
For some games, you can remember exactly where you were and how you felt during it. This, whoever you supported, was surely one of those.
This was the game Gareth Bale announced himself to a world beyond the Premier League. Tottenham were 4-0 down at half-time in San Siro (well, after 35 minutes actually) having lost their goalkeeper to a very early red card – but then they also had a 21-year-old with the skill, speed and style to help them come close to pulling off one of football’s all-time great comebacks.
The Welshman’s second-half hat-trick was stunning: three sublime finishes under pressure, the first famously coming after he’d scorched Inter’s helpless right-back in the 52nd minute. The final two goals came in the 90th and 91st minutes – almost, but not quite for the 10-man Spurs.
