Tottenham progressed into the last 16 of the UEFA Cup after a nervy 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane that saw them through the tie 3-2 on aggregate.

Goalkeeper Paul Robinson was back in the team as Tottenham reached the last 16 of the UEFA Cup - putting himself in the frame for Wembley this weekend.

The former England number one was dropped last month and missed 10 games but was granted a return after Radek Cerny's blunder allowed Slavia Prague back into this third-round tie a week ago.

It meant Robinson and Spurs only had a slender 2-1 lead to protect from Prague.

The north London side extended their advantage when Jamie O'Hara netted early on but Matej Krajcik's goal - which left Robinson with no chance - meant a nervous second half.

Spurs could not conserve energy for the Carling Cup final on Sunday against Chelsea, but at least the likes of Darren Bent were given a chance to impress.

Head coach Juande Ramos confirmed in his programme notes: "Nobody has secured their position in the side yet and so it is important that every single player puts in a maximum performance to demonstrate they are in the best condition to be considered for future fixtures."

Robinson impressed too, with a string of saves to keep his side ahead.

Ramos must decide whether to go with Robinson's big-match experience this weekend or leave him out if he feels the goalkeeper has been scarred by a year of inconsistency.

The 28-year-old was even named skipper for the first half before Robbie Keane was introduced. The omens are not necessarily good - Jermain Defoe was given the armband just before he left for Portsmouth recently.

Robinson was a bystander for the opening exchanges, with Spurs extending their aggregate lead in the seventh minute through O'Hara's first goal for the club.

Frantisek Drizdal failed to clear a cross convincingly, allowing Dimitar Berbatov to control on the edge of the area. O'Hara took over and his left-footed drive took a deflection off Martin Latka to wrong-foot Michal Vorel.

Robinson started Spurs' next attack with a long ball to Pascal Chimbonda. The full-back was fouled on the touchline and Vorel was required to push Tom Huddlestone's set-piece to safety.

Vorel also saved well when Huddlestone tried his luck from long distance midway through the half, and Aaron Lennon made a mess of the rebound when he had time to spare.

With Spurs looking for shooting practice ahead of their Wembley final, O'Hara flashed a volley wide when he met Teemu Tainio's hanging cross.

O'Hara was in the thick of the action and set up Bent with a cross just before the half-hour mark - but the striker's effort struck the crossbar after looping over Vorel.

Robinson was finally called into action 10 minutes before the break and he was down well to parry Jaroslav Cerny's low, swerving shot.

Keane came on at half-time and almost scored with his first touch when he hooked a Lennon cross just wide.

But Slavia got back in the tie in the 50th minute when Krajcik stabbed in at the far post after Daniel Pudil curled a cross beyond the Spurs defence.

Keane had a strike ruled out but it was his team-mates who appeared to be offside.

Chimbonda was replaced by Steed Malbranque on the hour - and worryingly for Spurs headed down the tunnel for treatment.

There were more concerns when Drizdal was given a free header in the next move but his effort went straight at Robinson.

David Strihavka then brought a diving save from Robinson and also struck the post as the visitors sensed panic.

Slavia heaped on the pressure in the final quarter of an hour but Spurs managed to hold on and progress.
