Peter Crouch scored a hat trick in a 4-0 victory over Swiss side Young Boys on Wednesday to lead Tottenham into the Champions League group stage for the first time.
THE FIRST GOAL Crouch's first goal _ a header from Gareth Bale's cross in the fifth minute _ canceled out the visitors' 3-2 advantage from the first leg.
THE SECOND GOAL Jermain Defoe scored a contentious second in the 32nd after controlling Bale's pass with his left hand.
THE THIRD GOAL Bale provided again for Crouch, who headed in a corner from the Wales midfielder in the 61st. Crouch completed his hat trick from the penalty spot in the 78th after Bale was fouled by Senad Lulic, who received a second yellow card.
"This is massive, we played extremely well and we deserved the bonus of Champions League football," Crouch said.
Tottenham's 6-3 aggregate victory ensures there will be four Premier League sides in the group stage. Manchester United and London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea qualified automatically.
