Football in November 1994

• The defensive drawback to Ossie Ardiles's policy of all-out attack at Tottenham Hotspur FC brings an ignominious end to his spell as manager, a 3-0 League Cup loss to Notts County FC sealing his fate.

• Sevilla FC's Davor Šuker registers twice as Croatia earn a surprise 2-1 victory away to Italy in EURO '96 qualifying. He goes on to score a then UEFA European Championship record of 12 goals in the campaign.

• FC Nantes extend their unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 campaign to 19 games with a 1-0 victory against AS Cannes – the Canaris were beaten just once en route to their seventh title, a French record.

• Raith Rovers FC beat Celtic FC 6-5 on penalties after a 2-2 draw to win their first knockout title, the Scottish League Cup, in 111 years of history thanks to Hoops captain Paul McStay's missed spot kick.
