PSV end Ramos's reign as Tottenham bow out

PSV Eindhoven relinquished Juande Ramos's hold on the UEFA Cup after the Dutch league leaders knocked out his Tottenham Hotspur side in a penalty shoot-out to reach the quarter-finals yesterday.

The Spanish coach had guided Sevilla to back-to-back triumphs in 2006 and 2007 but Spurs bowed out after Pascal Chimbonda fired his spot-kick wide to hand PSV a 6-5 win in the shoot-out.

Spurs, with a Dimitar Berbatov goal, had won 1-0 after extra time at the Philips Stadium to finish 1-1 on aggregate.

Premier League rivals Everton also lost on penalties to Fiorentina while competition favourites Bayern Munich eased through 6-2 on aggregate against Anderlecht, despite suffering a first home defeat of the season after the Belgians restored some pride with a 2-1 victory.

Bayer Leverkusen, Zenit St Petersburg and Getafe also advanced to the last eight.

Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld handed a number of fringe players a start against Anderlecht having routed the Belgians 5-0 in the first leg.

Defender Lucio extended Bayern's advantage with an early goal but to their credit, Anderlecht battled back to win the game with strikes from Serhat Akin and Oleksandr Yakovenko.

Former winners Bayer Leverkusen dumped out Bundesliga rivals Hamburg in a thrilling second-leg tie, which they lost 3-2 but went through on away goals.

Zenit eliminated Marseille in the last 16 for the second time in three seasons thanks to Pavel Pogrebnyak's double in a 2-0 victory at the Petrovsky stadium with the Russian champions prevailing on away goals.

Fiorentina weathered a fierce battering at Goodison Park to see off Everton 4-2 on penalties after the English side had overturned a 2-0 first-leg defeat with goals from Andrew Johnson and Mikael Arteta.

Fiorentina keeper Sebastien Frey, at fault for Everton's opening goal, made a string of outstanding stops and saved Phil Jagielka's spot-kick in the shoot-out.

Getafe added to Benfica's woes with a 1-0 home victory putting the Spaniards through 3-1 on aggregate.

Benfica parted with coach Jose Antonio Camacho at the weekend.

Two last 16, second-leg ties take place today. Werder Bremen host Scottish league leaders Rangers needing to overturn a 2-0 first-leg loss while Portugal's Sporting, losing finalists in 2005, start all-square at 1-1 with Bolton in Lisbon.

The final is in Manchester on May 14.
