Anderlecht 1-1 Tottenham:  Tottenham earned a place in the knockout stage of the UEFA Cup after Dimitar Berbatov came off the bench against Anderlecht to spare the blushes of Michael Dawson.

Dawson was the senior centre-back of a makeshift defence but his error led to the opener at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in Brussels.

Defeat would have left Juande Ramos' men looking for help elsewhere in Group G for them to progress, but Berbatov levelled from the penalty spot after coming off the bench.

Gavin McCann's first goal for Bolton saw them round off their UEFA Cup group games in fine style with a commendable 1-0 away win against Red Star Belgrade.

McCann swept the ball home from close range after Gary Speed had flicked on a corner from Andranik Teymourian.
