Europa League groups matchday 2 - in pictures

After holding out for the first half of the match, Shamrock Rovers do the unthinkable at White Hart Lane and take the lead early in the second half. A powerful free-kick by Gary McCabe is knocked away by Carlo Cudicini but only to Pat Sullivan on the edge of the box who fires in a shot, and Stephen Rice sticks out a foot to direct the ball over the Spurs keeper and into the net.

Two minutes later Jermain Defoe makes it 2-1 with a goal which looks very similar to their first with a pinpoint cross coming in from the left which the striker meets with his head.

Spurs' victory is complete when Giovani dos Santos slams home a third goal for Tottenham in the 66th minute. He has Defoe to thank for the goal as the little striker created the goal out of nothing. Defoe slides in and wins the ball wide on the left hand touchline deep in his own half before steaming away down the left. He leaves Shamrock Rovers players in his wake as he streaks a full 70 plus yards down the pitch before releasing his team-mate on the right who unleashes a rocked past Brush and into the roof of the net Photograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images

Birmingham manager Chris Hughton doesn't look very happy. Though it's not surprising when your team go one down courtesy of a comical error by your defence. He cheered up later when a couple of tidy finishes by Chris Burke and Wade Elliott gave the Blues a 2-1 away victory over NK Maribor Photograph: Paul Childs/Action Images

Stoke City's Peter Crouch celebrates with team-mate Cameron Jerome after he equalised for the Potters by putting his legs to good use and scooping the ball home during a goalmouth scramble. He was instrumental in Stoke's winning goal too being pushed to the ground by Tomas Sivok, a challenge which the referee adjudged to be worthy of a penalty.

Celtic's Daniel Majstorovic argues with the referee after awarding a penalty to Udinese in the dying minutes of the game. Aimen Abdi converted it to deny the Bhoys a well deserved victory.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon can't believe the decision, in which the referee decreed that Gary Hooper had blocked Neuton. It was at best a dubious penalty. Lennon said: 'It's a disgraceful decision ... We wanted to make the most of home advantage and would have done, but for a shocking decision. Gary is very upset, very angry, all the players are. If the referee does his job properly, we win the game.' Photograph: Russell Cheyne/Reuters
