Rangers' Steven Naismith
85 minutes of the match are gone and it remains goalless ... Looks like it'll be a second successive 0-0 draw between these sides, until Rangers' Steven Naismith drops young Rafael da Silva to his knees with a boot to the chops. Penalty to United. No question about it. Wonder who'll be taking it? Photograph: David Moir/Reuters

Now that's put a smile back on his face. 1-0 it ends; United are now top of Group C by three points from Valencia, who now lead Rangers by two points Photograph: Russell Cheyne/Reuters

Predictably, Gareth Bale is enjoying himself again, terrorising Champions League full-backs once more. At one stage, he almost scores a goal to replicate those he netted at Inter – but the ball skids inches wide of the post. The Welshman is also denied by the woodwork when his whipped free-kick clips the bar ... Photograph: Dylan Martinez/Reuters

Spoke too soon about Bale enjoying his evening - he's just fluffed a penalty! Apparently Roman Pavyluchenko didn't fancy the responsibility of converting the chance which came from a foul on Modric. Bale was keen, but his penalty was awfully tame and the keeper parried it Photograph: Stephen Pond/EMPICS Sport

A third goal eventually arrives when Peter Crouch turns home Aaron Lennon's cross at the near post. That puts Spurs top of the group and, consequently, they've qualified for the knock-out stages. Cue the celebrations Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images
