Clip of the Day: Spurs Crush Roma

English shores have not been kind to A.S. Roma of late. They took that famous 7-1 beating by Manchester United in 2007 and lost again to the English Champions at the quarter-final stage of last season's Champions League.

Now this on Sunday...



Terrible Roma defending aside, the win completes a brilliant pre-season for Juande Ramos's side before his first full season at White Hart Lane. Yes, it is only pre-season, but 33 goals scored and only 5 conceded is reason to be optimistic.

Spurs fans will be particularly pleased to see new arrivals Luka Modric and Gomes performing well, though Gomes's task is made easier given what he had to follow. Ex-Gooner, David Bentley has successfully acclimatized to life back in North London with 3 goals in his 3 pre-season appearances.

Doubts over Dimitar Berbatov's future persist, but his loss would felt less harshly if Darren Bent can continue his prolific pre-season form into the Premier League fixtures. The 24-year-old struck has struck 12 times over the past few weeks and will hope to rediscover the form that persuaded Spurs to pay Charlton £16.5 million for him last summer.

Of course, the real test is still to come. Spurs will look to seize upon their early momentum and finally crack the Premier League's top 4. That challenge starts on Saturday with a trip to Middlesbrough.
