Steven Pienaar opened the scoring with the aid of a deflection before Andros Townsend doubled their lead nine minutes later with a shot that found the top corner.Jermain Defoe added another before the break when he turned to slot home, and after both sides were denied by the woodwork, Harry Kane completed the rout with his first goal for Tottenham.However, that result proved to be in vain as 10-man Rubin Kazan earned a 1-1 draw at PAOK Salonika to follow the Greek side out of Group A and into the next round of the competition.Meanwhile, PSV Eindhoven completed their Group C campaign with a 2-1 win over Rapid Bucharest, thanks to late goals from Stanislav Manolev and Tim Matavz.

In the other match, Club Brugge and Braga confirmed their progress with a 1-1 draw.Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar and FC Metalist Kharkiv played out a 1-1 draw as both sides advanced from Group G, while Austria Vienna’s 2-0 win over Malmo proved to be in vain as they were eliminated.
