Tottenham Hotspur edged towards the last 16 of the Uefa Cup with a 2-1 victory over Slavia Prague, despite a goalkeeping gaffe by Radek Cerny against his former club.

Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane, who now have 36 goals between them this season, struck in the first half of the first leg tie at the Strahov Stadium to provide a cushion for Juande Ramos’s side.

Spurs were cruising in sub-zero temperatures in the Czech Republic capital until Cerny dropped the ball under his crossbar, allowing David Strihavka a simple tap-in.

Bolton Wanderers also won the first leg of their tie, El-Hadji Diouf giving them a slim advantage against 10-man Atletico Madrid.

The Senegal striker scored in the 74th minute - his fifth goal of the season - following good work by Stelios Giannakopoulos and Matt Taylor and a minute after Sergio Aguero had been sent off apparently for spitting following a challenge on Taylor.

A controversial penalty prevented Aberdeen repeating their famous 1983 victory over Bayern Munich after the German giants were twice stunned by teenagers in an entertaining tie at Pittodrie.

Josh Walker and Sone Aluko, England Under-19 team-mates, each gave Aberdeen the lead in the first half with Miroslav Klose replying during sustained pressure in between.

But Hamit Altintop levelled after Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez, the Spanish referee, had penalised Alan Maybury for handball despite previously ignoring two similar Aberdeen appeals.
