Spurs come unstuck with 1-0 loss in Russia

13:12 pm on 4 November 2011

English Premier League football side Fulham have thrashed Polish side Wisla Krakow 4-1 in London to continue their charge for the round of 32 in the Europa League competition.

An Andy Johnson double inspired Fulham to the win which puts them second in their group. Stoke City are top of theirs after a 2-1 away win at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

A 1-0 loss to Rubin Kazan in Russia has Tottenham Hotspur third on goal difference in their group, Spurs failing to provide absent manager Harry Redknapp with a win.

Tottenham came away from their taxing 6,500-kilometre round trip empty-handed, with Redknapp keeping tabs on his mix of youngsters and veterans on television back home as the 64-year-old Spurs boss recovers from heart surgery.
