Tottenham through to Europa League with breezy win over Tbilisi

Tottenham have made light work of Georgian opponent Dinamo Tbilisi in their Europa League playoff qualifier.

Spurs won 5-0 last week before completing a 3-0 victory at White Hart Lane on Thursday night to cruise through to the group stage proper 8-0 on aggregate.

Jermain Defoe scored a double whilst Lewis Holtby fired home from 25 yards as Spurs got the job done in a professional manner much to the delight of manager Andre Villas-Boas.

"We couldn't be complacent. All the boys did extremely well," the Portuguese told ITV4.

"After a 5-0 win you can come into the game with a laid back attitude. They didn't. They kept their professionalism and got some chances and got some good moments of football with some good combinations."
