Gillingham v Spurs – Match Reports & Notes

Two goals each from Garth Crooks and Steve Archibald earned Spurs passage through to the Fourth Round of the League Cup with a 4-2 victory over Gillingham at Priestfield.

Gary Mabbutt had an good opportunity in the 12th minute when Hoddle’s chip over the defence picked out Garth Crooks and he put it into Mabbutt’s path, but he steered it wide with the keeper out of position.  It only delayed Tottenham taking the lead for two minutes, as Steve Archibald was in space on the right to put in a cross for his strike partner to head home from close range.  Gillingham responded in the 26th minute, as Micky Adams went down the left, crossed and Jeff Johnson half-volleyed Micky Hazard’s clearing header back past Ray Clemence to make it 1-1.

Tony Cascarino could have had the home team ahead a quarter of an hour before half-time when put through although the Spurs players believed he was offside.  Clemence spread himself in front of the Gills forward to save and the chance went untaken.  It cost Gillingham, as two minutes before half-time, Steve Archibald lifted the ball over Bruce’s head and then clipped the ball over Hillyard’s head to make it 2-1 at the break.

Archibald made it two goals in five minutes when he smashed a left foot shot into the net after Hazard had glanced on Hoddle’s pass three minutes after the interval.  While it looked as though Tottenham were in control, a 67th minute corner from Tydeman was headed in by substitute Ken Price brought the score back to 3-2 and then Gillingham went close with a Johnson shot and Bruce then headed over the bar.  However, Garth Crooks put the game to bed in injury time at the end of the game when Dick Tydeman tried to pass back to goalkeeper Hillyard, but the Spurs striker was alert to it and knock the ball into the net.
