Tottenham crushed Anorthosis Famagusta 6-1 at White Heart Lane to all but guarantee a spot in the next round. Everton and Bolton both drew 1-1 with their opponents, but are still favorites to progress.
Everton 1-1 FC Metalist Kharkiv
A 9 man Ukrainian team was able to equalize in the 78th minute to secure a draw at Goodison Park. Everton fans will not be happy with Andy Johnson who missed two penalties after Joleon Lescott put the team ahead in the 24th minute. Even a dismissal in the 69th minute (and a second in the 89th) was not enough for Everton to win, so they will need a win in the next leg in order to progress. Moyes will be very disappointed not to have won this encounter at least 2-1.
Rabotnicki Kometal 1-1 Bolton
Sammy Lee's underachieving Wanderers once again failed to win, but at least registered their first draw of the season. An 8th minute Abdoulaye Meite strike saved face for Sammy Lee, but Bolton will be disappointed to have not taken a win against their inferior opponents.
Tottenham 6-1 Anorthosis Famagusta
Martin Jol will be happy to have registered a win at this critical time, and it couldn't have been done in better style. Jol's side was up 4-0 at half time thanks to strikes from Younes Kaboul, Michael Dawson, Robbie Keane, and Darren Bent. Jermaine Defoe then struck twice on either side of a consolation goal from Anorthosis' Zlogar. Tottenham are almost certainly through to the next round, and maybe Martin Jol will even get to keep his job a little bit longer.
