El Clasico: Uefa Cup 1971 1972 Tottenham Milan AC

White Hart Lane, London
Semi Final First Leg

5 April 1972

On a remarkable night at White Hart Lane, Perryman rescued Tottenham's UEFA Cup challenge after Romeo Benetti had given Milan the lead. The hard-tackling Italians barely gave Spurs an inch, but Perryman pulled a goal back with an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box. And he repeated the feat in the second half, unleashing a right-footed volley past Milan's keeper Fabio Cudicini, father of Tottenham keeper Carlo Cudicini, to give the Londoners a slim advantage.
