Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov were left torn over the referee's decision not to dismiss Micky van de Ven for a late challenge on Georges Mikautadze in Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Villareal.
Thomas Frank's first Champions League game was far from a blockbuster, but Spurs eventually ran out 1-0 winners after a hard-fought clash.
The game's only goal came early in the first half when Lucas Bergvall whipped a ball in to the box from the right which was spilled into his own net by visiting goalkeeper Luiz Junior.
