ROVERS' European ambitions took a knock as they picked up just a point against Spurs.

Dimitar Berbatov gave the visitors a seventh-minute lead when he bundled home Jermaine Jenas' cross.

And Rovers had Brad Friedel to thank as he denied the Bulgarian hitman a second minutes later.

But a piece of David Bentley magic made Rovers' equaliser.

In one movement, he controlled a cross-field ball and beat Pascal Chimbonda before finding Morten Gamst Pedersen and he found the corner.

Chances were at a premium in the second half.

Berbatov, and then Steed Malbranque, were foiled by Friedel with Rovers best opportunties coming from Bentley who twice went close.

But Mark Hughes won't be happy with a point as the race for the European places heats up.
