Tottenham enjoyed another memorable European night with a smash-and-grab victory over AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash.[LNB]After edging a close first half at the San Siro, Spurs needed two excellent saves from Heurelho Gomes and some resolute defending in a second 45 minutes which was dominated by the Italian hosts. It was a spiteful second half, too, with Vedran Corluka carried off with a nasty-looking injury following Mathieu Flamini's two-footed challenge.[LNB]However, it was Harry Redknapp's side who had the last word when Aaron Lennon led a lightning-fast break before feeding Peter Crouch to sweep home in the 80th minute. Zlatan Ibrahimovic thought he had equalised in added time only to have his goal disallowed.[LNB]MORE TO FOLLOW...[LNB] Tall order: Peter Crouch struck in the 80th minute to give Spurs a famous victory in the San Siro[LNB] Heated exchange: Gennaro Gattuso and Joe Jordan square up[LNB][LNB] All action hero: Heurelho Gomes was at his brilliant best to deny Mario Yepes on two occasions[LNB] [LNB] [LNB] [LNB] Calm down: Michael Dawson (second left) has words with Mathieu Flamini (fourth right) after the former Arsenal man's two-footed lunge ended Vedran Corluka's (left) evening[LNB][LNB] Stetchered off: Christian Abbiati's match ended abruptly after an innocuous-looking challenge with Peter Crouch[LNB][LNB] Clearing the lines: William Gallas (right) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic joust for possession[LNB] [LNB][LNB][LNB] Spurs won't stand in Redknapp's way when England hunt for new bossCHAMPIONS LEAGUE LIVE: AC Milan v Tottenham - all the action as it happenedAll the latest Tottenham Hotspur news, features and opinion[LNB]  Explore more:People: Aaron Lennon, Peter Crouch, Harry Redknapp
