ESPN has no formation for this match, so here are the line-ups as a list.
xG, big chances, touches and duels are ESPN's numbers; other sites' models can differ a little.
A very comfortable night for Tottenham. Young Boys never looked like threatening Harry Redknapp's men tonight.
Peter Crouch could have had his fourth! Pavlyuchenko is released down the left-hand side. His pull back is perfectly weighted and finds Crouch. With the goal at his mercy, the England man can only find the goalkeeper.
The corner is excellent, Corluka gets his head on the end of it, but he can only power the header over the bar.
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Christian Schneuwly on for Doubai</b>
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Niko Kranjcar on for Gareth Bale</b>
Pavlyuchenko is played through by Huddlestone, Francois does enough to get back and clear for a corner.
Gareth Bale and Peter Crouch have been on fire tonight. The Spurs fans can look forward to at least three more Champions League evenings at White Hart Lane.
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Peter Crouch side-foots the penalty low to the keepers right and completes his hat-trick!</b>
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Lulic</b> gets his marching orders for bringing down Bale.
<b>PENALTY!</b> Tottenham stroking the ball around effortlessly. Bale in behind the defence and Lulic brings him down. A clear cut spot-kick.
Despite looking drenched and thoroughly fed up, surely Harry Redknapp must be very satisfied with what he's seen from his team tonight.
Assou-Ekotto thumps the free kick clear at the near post.
A free kick for Young Boys. King trips Degen.
Despite seeing a lot of the ball, Young Boys have no cutting edge. Ledley King and Michael Dawson have looked untroubled all evening.
The Swiss side are looking deflated now. Spurs seem to be sailing into the Champions League proper.
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Degen</b> is booked for a late challenge on Huddlestone. A deserved card.
The corner is defended solidly by Spurs and the ball is cleared.
Ledley King blocks a cross to deny a certain goal for Young Boys. Corner to the Swiss side...
It's all getting a little bit scrappy now. Assou-Ekotto and Doubai clashing and Young Boys could lose their heads here.
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Sutter and Costanzo replaced by Regazzoni and Marco Schneuwly</b>
Young Boys are trying to respond, Hochstrasser's long-range shot is blocked. It falls to Bienvenu, but the flag is raised.
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Pavlyuchenko on for Jermain Defoe</b>
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Crouch scores his second and Tottenham have surely sealed this now. Gareth Bale delivers a corner into the penalty area. Crouch rises to head home from eight yards. A very straight forward goal.
The Tottenham fans scream for a penalty! The ball is clipped hopefully into the box, Wolfli claims the ball, however Crouch looked to be bundled down off the ball by Jemal.
The corner causes chaos in the Young Boys defence, with the ball eventually falling to Crouch. His first touch is poor, and Wolfli is able to get down quick enough to block his chipped shot.
Incredible defending from Spycher! Huddlestone plays a sublime through ball to Bale. His cross is equally stunning, Defoe looked set to tap home until Spycher's outstretched boot flicks the ball wide.
A wasted chance for Young Boys! A low cross into the Spurs box arrives at the feet of Doubai. He seems to get the ball stuck under his feet and his shot is easily saved by Cudicini.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Carlo Cudicini on for Gomes</b>
Tottenham looked to be cruising when Defoe scored their second goal of the night. Since that goal, the combination of an injured Gomes and the unease of the Spurs faithful has given Young Boys a glimmer of hope.
<b>HALF TIME</b> Tottenham are halfway there. Can they finish the job in the second half?
The Swiss side will take some encouragement from the last ten minutes of this half. There are nerves in the air at the Lane.

Bale looks to be in behind Sutter, however the Welshman had tugged down the full back.
Defoe wastes a glorious opportunity to make it three! Lennon plays a glorious through ball behind Francois and Defoe is in. His low, right-footed effort is dragged beyond the far post.
Young Boys need a goal, and soon. Unfortunately so far in this half they haven't looked like getting one.
Youngs Boy have it all to do. How different things looked a week ago.
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Jermain Defoe has doubled Tottenham's lead! He seemed to use his arm to control the ball, the referee didn't blow his whistle, Defoe turned Jemal and fired home! A dubious goal, but an excellent finish from Defoe.
Harry Redknapp looks to have refused Gomes' request to be substituted. Cudicini has started to warm up.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Bale's corner finds Dawson free in the box, his header back into the area is cleared. Bale clips the ball to the backpost, and Peter Crouch nods the ball into the back of the net!

At half-time last week in Switzerland this tie looked over. Youngs Boys were 3-0 and looked to be cruising into the Champions League proper. Tottenham pulled two goals back through Bassong and Pavlyuchencko, how crucial will they prove to be?
For Young Boys, right-back Sutter fulfils a life-long dream, playing at White Hart Lane against the team he supported as a boy.
In team news, Spurs striker Jermain Defoe starts despite needing surgery on a groin injury, he's paired with Peter Crouch in attack.
