Uefa Cup: Dimitar Berbatov's brace helped Tottenham maintain their 100 per cent record in the Uefa Cup this season after they went a goal behind to Club Bruges at White Hart Lane.

Salou Ibrahim had given the Belgians a 14th-minute lead in the Group B clash with a spectacular strike, but Berbatov levelled almost immediately with a volley.

Aaron Lennon had been deployed on the left and created plenty of chances for himself but failed to produce the finishing touch.

It was left to Bulgaria striker Berbatov to unlock the visitors, sending through Robbie Keane for Spurs' second before heading in a third.

It took his tally to the season to four goals - three have come in the Uefa Cup - and he received a rapturous ovation when substituted 11 minutes from full-time.

It also meant Spurs have maximum points at the halfway point of the group stage, with the knockout round within sight and a trip to Bayer Leverkusen next up. Just as Spurs thought they were establishing a foothold, the visitors went ahead in spectacular fashion in the 14th minute. Ibrahim received the ball on the edge of the area and the Ghana striker turned and found the corner of the net over Robinson's dive.

In the 63rd minute Berbatov hooked the ball over the Bruges defence before Keane raced through and scored with a precisely drilled finish.

Berbatov established a two-goal cushion in the 73rd minute when Hossam Ghaly's cross from the right was headed in by the striker.

Veteran playmaker Tugay propelled Blackburn toward the knockout stages with a superb strike against Basle.

The 36-year-old former Turkey international made the breakthrough, rifling a 30-yard shot into the corner after skipping away from Mladen Petric.

Francis Jeffers, with a penalty, and Benni McCarthy added further goals as the Swiss side began to tire.

Blackburn made the breakthrough in front of a 13,789 home crowd with a thunderbolt from Tugay.

There seemed little on in the 75th minute when he rounded Petric but he then rifled a 30-yard shot into the corner for his first goal of the season.

Substitute Jeffers added the second from the penalty spot a minute from time after Pedersen had been brought down by Zanni.

McCarthy completed the scoring in stoppage time after Paul Gallagher's shot had been blocked.

Rangers took themselves to within touching distance of the knockout stages with a 2-0 win over Maccabi Haifa at Ibrox.

Nacho Novo opened the scoring after just five minutes, before Charlie Adam sealed the win from the penalty spot with a minute to go.

Maximum points from Group A matches against Livorno and Maccabi mean they now have a great chance of progressing.

Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar struck twice to earn Ajax Amsterdam a 3-0 win over Austria Vienna. Huntelaar broke the deadlock from close range 10 minutes before half-time after goalkeeper Szabolcs Safar had blocked a Zdenek Grygera header. Ajax sealed the points in this Group F clash with two goals in four minutes midway through the second half.

Edgar Manucharyan scored with a deflected goal and then an unmarked Huntelaar nodded in a free kick from Kenneth Perez.
