It does seem rather ridiculous to me that away goals still count more when scored in extra time of the second leg.

[MDK]

Yeah, away goals should be scrapped when it gets to extra time, I was looking forward to penalties.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Absolute shocking performance from Spurs tonight, should never be conceding four against Inter with the recent form they've been in.

It certainly is considering Spurs get 30 extra minutes to score than Inter. Someone has made a major error there.

[DavidMarrio]

Whole lotta nothing in the Chelsea game so far. Strong team put out but we look to be having another one of our "eh, we're not really bothered about winning this" nights. :/

I hope that is not the case cause I have Chelsea in a four fold accumulator.

And yeh, away goals is a shit rule. Extra 30 minutes to get the one goal if you are the away team whilst the other team has to get two? Bit unfair that

[stokeriño]

Mikel has had two good shots on goal now. What is this I don't even

[Matt]

It could be argued that Inter get the home advantage for an extra 30 minutes... though that doesn't really make up for the away goal being so important.

[Kaney]

Spurs really don't deserve to be going through, on the strength of this match. Shame for Inter cos they've been miles better than Spurs here.

[ZJ Penn]

Im all for away goals but no way should they count in extra time.

Keeper to score

Last minute of the game; take a short corner

[GoGo Yubari]

We did it. How did we do it. Fuck.

Fulham have to be delighted by this.

Honestly, I think if you're going to say away goals matter at one part of the game but don't matter at another, then you should say they should be done away with entirely.

[Robsturgh]

All according to plan.

[stokeriño]

1-0 Chelsea, Juan Mata. 1-1 aggregate.

[ZJ Penn]

Hopefully Chelsea can get a second and rip them apart on the counter.

Especially after the boring Spurs game

Baffling decision that short corner, like Robinho's freekick against Barca at the end on Tuesday night when he tried to switch the play instead of smashing it.

Still, I think probably overall over both legs Spurs probably edged it even though Inter scored 4 tonight and being knocked out because away goals count in extra time. At least it means an extra two games for Spurs.

[stokeriño]

Nearly an amazing goal from Hazard, weaving through everybody only for the keeper to block the shot.

[Cymbols]

Bucharest goal! Yes!

[stokeriño]

Haha, Chelsea concede on the cusp of HT. Have to score another two now.

[DavidMarrio]

As long as you win the match...Only team letting me down in my four fold

David Luiz in shoulder barge shocker
