Spurs hit four
Tottenham's Champions League rollercoaster rattled on as a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance from both Rafael van der Vaart and the match officials saw them beat FC Twente 4-1.
On a night of torrential rain and high drama at White Hart Lane, Van der Vaart missed a dubious penalty, broke the deadlock and then picked up a needless red card as Spurs threatened to blow a 2-0 lead for the second successive Group A game.
But referee Terje Hauge's assistants came to the rescue with a mixture of correct and contentious spot-kick decisions, helping Harry Redknapp's men join European champions Inter Milan on four points at the top of the table.
Van der Vaart's 47th-minute opener was quickly followed by the second penalty of the night, dispatched by Roman Pavyluchenko (50).
Nacer Chadli then pulled a goal back from close range (56) before Van der Vaart saw red for a second yellow card for a foul on Roberto Rosales.
But another highly controversial Pavyluchenko penalty (64) and Gareth Bale's late fourth got the 10 men out of trouble.
