TOTTENHAM BLEW THE CHANCE TO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Tottenham squandered the chance to reclaim third spot as Aston Villa all but secured their Premier League safety and also assisted Arsenal FC to retain third position  with a vital point.
Ciaran Clark put Villa ahead with a 25-yard shot that deflected off William Gallas and flew into the top corner.
Gareth Bale was denied by an alert Shay Given save but Spurs lost Danny Rose, who was sent off for a dangerously high sliding challenge on Alan Hutton.
Emmanuel Adebayor levelled from the spot after Richard Dunne fouled Sandro.
Arsenal's surprise draw at home to Norwich on Saturday had offered Spurs the opportunity of securing third with two closing victories.
That would have meant they would not be reliant on Chelsea losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League final for a place in European club football's elite competition next season, as the Premier League's fourth-placed team would be.
But despite having the majority of possession in the final third they could not conjure the necessary moments of inspiration and a win over Fulham at White Hart Lane next weekend will not be enough for third if Arsenal beat West Brom at The Hawthorns
