Tottenham Hotspur booked their place in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup this evening at the expense of Reading in a game that required extra time at White Hart Lane.
Spurs marched triumphantly into the next round of the Capital One Cup with a convincing 2-0 win over fellow Premier League side Reading tonight at White Hart Lane. The Royals made their more favoured opponents work until the very end for the victory, extra time required at White Hart Lane after the game had finished goalless.
In the end Spurs just had to much for Reading to deal with and a fine goal from Mousa Dembele in the first period of extra time set the North London club on their way to victory at White Hart Lane.
The first good chance of the contest fell to Spurs captain Jermain Jenas, the midfielder unable to hit the target with his effort from the edge of the area, the England international scooping his effort over the crossbar.
A dull first half came to an end without incident, although Jake Livermore found himself on a yellow card, the midfielder committing a number of fouls, referee Andy D'Urso left with no real option but to caution the player after he'd given the 22 year old at least two prior warnings.
The second half wasn't much better as Reading sat deep in their half and pressured Spurs as soon as a first touch had been taken, the hosts finding it difficult to create chances, the tension inside White Hart Lane beginning to rise as the chances of an upset began to increase.
In the end a late flurry of chances by Spurs forced Adam Federici into action, the Australian goalkeeper denying Sandro, Aaron Lennon, Clint Dempsey and Gareth Bale in the final few minutes to force extra time.
The lottery of penalties now just a half hour away in this Capital One Cup third round clash.
There would be no need for spot kicks however, a stunning volley from Mousa Dembele 11 minutes into extra time giving Spurs a lead they never looked like surrendering at White Hart Lane, the Belgian midfielder connecting beautifully with his volley after Chris Gunter could only clear a Bale cross to the edge of the box, the Spurs midfielder taking full advantage as he blasted his effort through a crowd of players and beyond Federici.
Spurs secured the victory with just moments remaining in the game, a Bale corner wasn't cleared after William Gallas had flicked the ball on at the near post and when Danny Graham's mistimed shot became a cross there was sheer embarrassment for Gunter who couldn't adjust his feet in time, the Reading defender diverting the ball beyond his own keeper, Spurs through to the next round as the Royals crashed out of the Capital One Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale says he wants to win the Capital One Cup this season and has dismissed claims that the competition isn't important to players at Premier League clubs.
Spurs meet Reading in the third round of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night at White Hart Lane and it's expected that the North London club will name a strong side for the clash, the hosts strong favourites to book their place in the fourth round draw despite the Royals impressive start to life in the Premier League.
Reading are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions although Spurs have won four of their five fixtures this season in all competitions, a 0-0 draw against West Ham United at White Hart Lane in August the only time the North London club have failed to record victory under Portuguese manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Welsh international Gareth Bale says he is intent on helping Spurs overcome Reading on Tuesday night at White Hart Lane, the 23 year old hopeful that victory over the Royals in their third round clash will be the first of many in the Capital One Cup this season, the winger revealing his desire to win the competition.
"The game against Reading will be difficult for us because they've been in good form this season. They've beaten Everton and got a point at Anfield, they're doing well and we'll give them respect," said Bale.
"Hopefully with the game being at home we can continue our good performances and advance to the next round. All the boys want to go as far as we can in the Capital One Cup, it would be fantastic to win it but we know there is a long way to go in the competition and we're only concentrating on Reading," added the Welsh international.
"You hear people say players in the Premier League don't care about this competition but that's rubbish, of course we do, it's a trophy, it's a winners medal and every player wants to win trophies," stated the 23 year old.
The game against Reading will be the beginning of six consecutive games at White Hart Lane for Spurs in which they'll take on Liverpool, Reading and Manchester United in the Premier League, whilst tackling Hannover 96 and Dinamo Moscow in the Europa League, those groups of fixtures potentially crucial according to Bale.
"Looking at the next few fixtures you think it could be a really crucial stage for us. We could progress in the Capital One Cup and go a long way to progressing from our Europa League group whilst keeping pace at the top of the Premier League. It's a very important period and we'll need to prepare well for every game," declared Bale.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Steven Caulker has branded the clubs 3-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion last night in their opening Europa League Group H clash as massive.
The North London club stunned their Dutch opponents early in the second half when Aaron Lennon and Gylfi Sigurdsson both scored within six minutes of the restart. The hosts never truly recovered from that setback despite Erik Falkenburg pulling one back with a wonder striker with just 17 minutes remaining.
A second from Lennon deep into stoppage time ensured Spurs recorded victory in their Group H clash.
The win puts Spurs top of their group level on points with Bundesliga side Hannover 96 who recorded a 3-1 win in Hannover over Russian opponents Dinamo Moscow, the North London club set to face the German outfit at White Hart Lane in their next Group H fixture before a double header against Dinamo Moscow, the first of which is at White Hart Lane, victory at the AFAS Stadion giving Spurs a great opportunity to advance from Group H.
Last nights win was branded massive by Steven Caulker, the defender making his his first appearance of the season during the 3-1 win, the 20 year old playing the full game and Caulker believes manager Andre Villas-Boas can lead the club to Europa League success if the side can produce regular performances matching last nights.
"We were fantastic last night against AZ Alkmaar, it's got to be said," revealed Caulker.
"I don't think we gave them a sniff throughout the game and they needed a wonder strike to get a goal against us, I mean we always looked comfortable and I thought we could have won by a few more to be honest. It was a great way to start the group and now we've two home games, hopefully we can win both of them although we know our opponents will be tough to beat so we'll need to perform at our best," said the defender.
"Last nights win was massive, it's set us up really well in the group and if we can continue playing the football we're playing then there is absolutely no reason why we can't go all the way in the Europa League. The manager has experience of winning this competition, he knows what it takes to win it and hopefully he can help us achieve that. It would be amazing to win the Europa League, it would be a big achievement," added the 20 year old.

Obviously he's nowhere near the player he was and it's hard to figure out why that is.
You'd hardly call him a waste of space though.

He scored two goals against Sunderland? Was that doing nothing on the pitch? He almost scored tonight because he was in the right position at the right time. He also has more goals this season than he had last season in half the amount of games, I think you're being a little to harsh.
He's out of form from his personal point of view but he's still a very good striker on his day.
EDIT: Also the goal Mata scored last week, do you remember what happened before that?

I'd imagine he could sue them for defamation.
You can't really regulate this though. The only way to stop it would be to ban the media from reporting about it and I'd imagine you can't do that, especially in a place like America with freedom of speech and all that. Again I agree with you, but I doubt they can do much to stop the media taking advantage of the situation and running story after story about it.

Places that sell guns are just trying to make money, that won't stop because some nut job walks into a restaurant, cinema or school with a gun and shoots people. As I said I agree that the real problem is these nutjobs get their fame from this and it sets examples for other fuckers to come along and do it. Unfortunately you can't stop the media from reporting it and the majority of them won't change the way they do that either.

The media is a business, they want to make money, so something like this helps them do exactly that.

The club would defend him, the player would say he's innocent and his team-mates would back him.
EDIT: Massive respect for Moyes after his interview following the game.
