Spurs success
NZPA-Reuter London The English team, Tottenham Hotspur, won the European Football Union (U.E.F.A.) Cup for the second time when they beat the Belgian holders, Anderlecht, in a dramatic penalty shoot-out in London yesterday. Tottenham won 4-3 on penalties after the second leg of the final had ended in a 1-1 draw after extra time. The first leg in Brussels also ended in a 1-1 draw. A vital save by the Tottenham goal-keeper, Tony
Parks — from the last of 10 penalties — hit directly at him by Arnor Gudjohnsen, resolved the issue after two hours of enthralling soccer. Parks had earlier saved a penalty from the Danish international Morten Olsen, but this was cancelled out when Jacques Munaron saved Tottenham’s fifth penalty from Danny Thomas. Graham Roberts, deputising as skipper for the suspended Steve Perryman, had forced the match into extra-time by equalising just six minutes from the end of normal time.
