A fine all round performance left
Leicester reeling at White Hart Lane. It was a cold Wednesday
night, but Spurs warmed their fans with Chris Waddle and Clive Allen
linking well to set up Nico Claesen to slide the ball home in the 35th
minute.
Paul Allen was felled in the box and
cousin Clive converted the spot-kick in the 52nd minute, while Paul got
the third goal after taking Steve Hodge's through ball to score shortly
after. The scorer was involved in the build up for the fourth
goal, just a minute later, when he found Claesen, who put Clive Allen in
for his 37th goal of the season. The Belgian wrapped up the 5-0

Spurs won this FA Cup
semi-final at Villa Park under sad circumstances, as the Falklands War
had broken out the previous day. This placed Ossie Ardiles in
a difficult position, with his loyalties divided and although he played,
he received a lot of abuse from the Leicester fans. Although this
was to be his last game for Tottenham that season, he helped Spurs
through to the final, even though he would not be there himself.
The match was close until the 56th
minute, when Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle worked a short corner with Ossie
crossing to find Garth Crooks six yards to volley home powerfully.
Leicester lost Tommy Williams, carried off with a broken shin and having used their subatitute
were down to ten, with Spurs taking advantage by pressurising Ian Wilson
to lob a 76th minute back pass over his keeper's head to make it 2-0.

finishing touch to give city an early lead. The score stayed like
