After multiple unimpressive attempts at goal by the Tottenham offense in Wednesday night’s match versus Bolton, Luka Modrić finally got Spurs on the board in the 37th minute following a corner kick, blasting the ball from 26 yards out into the top-right corner of the net. The goal gave Tottenham a 1-0 lead going into halftime, with Spurs seeking a top-4 finish as Chelsea lost to Newcastle 2-0 on the night.
Modrić pulls one of these goals out of his bag of tricks ever so often. If he was more consistent with these type of long-range shots, he would truly be considered a complete offensive threat as opposed to just a passing wizard. However, Modrić also setup Aaron Lennon’s assist to Adebayor in the 62′ with a crisp through-ball.
Spurs won 4-1 with Bolton’s Ivan Klasnić coming into the match off the bench in the 70′.
Modrić goal vs. Bolton Wednesday night
Cisse to Modrić: “Whatever you can do, I can do better”
Newcastle United shocked Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge Wednesday night keeping them level on points with Tottenham for England’s last Champions League berth. With only two games remaining in the season, this surely means that Chelsea will not see the Champions League tournament next year unless they defeat Bayern Munich on May 19th to receive an automatic bid as defending champs. Remember, if Chelsea do defeat Bayern, only England’s top three clubs will make Champions League next season. Modrić and Spurs sit one point behind Arsenal for a guaranteed berth.
FYI: MARKO PERKOVIC THOMPSON came out with his first single for his new album. Its called UVIJEK VJERNI TEBI! For those of you who like his music enjoy!

I just caught the DVR’d 2nd half. Modric’s pass to Lennon was superb. That is why he is a wanted man.
@Colin:
Comment of the year.
^^^ Colin said that the Cisse goal was beautiful.
@Colin, yes, you are the only one. Modric’s goal didn’t even make espn’s “top ten” plays.
Viru ti ne jebem luka zabi vise takoooo -U-
thats our boy! now lets hope he just saves some of this for euro…
@ Colin,
Thanks buddy. You would be getting updates like that everyday if this was my only job. Soon though…I promise. Just glad you guys are enjoying the show.
Modric goal was nice, but what a fucken goal by Cisse pardon my french
Cisse’s goal turned me on a little it was so beautiful. I can’t be the only one that feels that way! Here I am, watching the Spurs thinking Luka’s goal was the best I’ve seen in weeks and I change the channel to watch 2 seconds of the Utd-Chelski game and BAM. Un real! He bent space-time in order to put that in. Call the ghostbusters or something, because something crazy just happened there.
Also, Gotta hand it to Ante as well. Good job being on top of this so quickly. I don’t think ESPN has anyone who works as fast as you do.
Cisse’s goal is goal of the year hands down. Unlike Crouch, he has actual skill and that was mighty impressive. If Newcastle gets a top four spot, I would have no problem with it over Spurs. They absolutely deserve it, what a club.
Archie Andrews didn’t stand a chance
That goal by Cissé was just sublime!!!! Very nice!
Dukic…polako majstore…nemoj zaboravit golove od Sukera…protiv Danske i kad je igrao u Arsenal…uffff….Luka je dao dobar gol ali nebi rekao best ever!

best goalllllll ever! pure class.
If you guys liked Modric’s goal today, wait till you see what Cisse did to Petr Cech tonight. I will put it up once it becomes available. It will rival Crouch’s goal vs. City for Goal of the Year.
@ ante
i got off work early today so i am enjoying the chance to watch and respond instantly like this. usually i miss all the fun for weekday games. funny you said that….my first thought was “gotta post on the site” when i saw that goal. 4-1…..well done spurs
Bilo mu je i vrime vise, aj svaka cast.
Coyle is such a tard. “OMG we’re trailing by two goals…time to bring in Klasnic.” Every time. They were a far better team when Klasnic actually started every game.
@ Joe,
Thanks buddy. I wish I could have a day off everyday so I can update live like this. I’m glad you guys appreciate the service. You should have saw me run to my laptop when Luka let that shot go…
ajme vidis da zna pucat. he just never wants to!
love the quick updates on this site……well done gents.
glad modric made that fabulous pass to set up the 3rd goal….he was fast asleep, watching the action when bolton scored theirs so that pass helped make up for it!
hope he saves some of this great offensive play for june!!
Holy shiz what a nice goal!
