Andre Villas-Boas remains confident Tottenham will qualify from their Europa League group despite dropping two points at Panathinaikos.
Spurs were in complete control of their Group J game against the Greek side and took the lead after 35 minutes when Michael Dawson glanced Tom Huddlestone's cross past Orestis Karnezis.
Jermain Defoe, Gareth Bale, Clint Dempsey and Huddlestone then all missed chances to put the game to bed, and Panathinaikos took full advantage through striker Toche, who left Dawson for dead and turned in a Giorgos Seitaridis pass 13 minutes from time.
The draw left Spurs third in the group, two points off leaders Lazio ahead of a double-header against Maribor, who hammered Pana in their opening fixture.
"In the end it leaves us with two points. Maribor have three and Lazio have four so everything is open as we go into the double-headers," Villas-Boas said.
"It's only after the fourth game that you tend to know who will go through or whether there is any competition for that second place. In a group like this, normally 10 or 11 points to qualify."
