The Thorstvedt quip that put a smile on Spurs boss AVB's face

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas enjoyed a quip from Erik Thorstvedt during their Europa League win over Tromso.

Former Spurs and Norway goalkeeper Thorstvedt said on the pitch at half-time that Spurs had "Sold Elvis and bought the Beatles" by replacing Gareth Bale with seven new additions and the manager agrees with that assessment.

"That is very creative! It sounds good," Villas-Boas said with a smile.
