Roman Pavlyuchenko scored one and set up another for Spurs during a 3-0 pre-season win over Olympiakos.
Russian turns in impressive display
Roman Pavlyuchenko gave Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp a reminder of his capabilities by scoring one and setting up another during a 3-0 pre-season victory over Olympiakos.
After finding the top corner for his first, the Russian crossed for Vedran Corluka to seal the friendly win, with Jermaine Defoe adding a late third at White Hart Lane.
Redknapp handed Peter Crouch and Sebastien Bassong their debuts for the club after summer moves from Portsmouth and Newcastle respectively, and Crouch caused the Greek champions big problems with his height.
The 28-year-old cleared the crossbar in the early stages from a free-kick, then planted another finish straight into the floor and over from a David Bentley corner.
Tom Huddlestone went close for Spurs in the first half after veteran goalkeeper Antonios Nikopolidis dwelt on the ball and cleared straight to Danny Rose.
After the break, Defoe went close with a long-range drive after a sharp turn. While at the other end, Carlo Cudicini saved at full stretch from Leonardo's header after a cross by Jaouad Zairi.
Pavlyuchenko struck in the 66th minute after Aaron Lennon broke into the area only to be brought down, but the ball ran for the Russian to blast into the top corner.
The striker turned provider three minutes later, collecting an over-hit corner and crossing powerfully for Corluka to stab home, before Defoe added the third with 12 minutes remaining.
