Match Report:

A good win against a strong Middlesborough side.

The host went ahead when ball was swung in by Aaron Lennon and there was Pavylunchenko to head the ball past Turnbull to make it 1-0. Soon after he slotted his 2nd of the game away with a nice low shot on the edge of the box to make it 2-0 for spurs.

The away side soon came back into it with a free-kick scored by Alfonso Alves, Assisted by Ledley king who made the take on Tuncay to offer Middlesborough the set-peice. The 2nd half got onto a flyer as Middlesborough leveled to make it 2-2 in the 56th min through alves again this time from a corner, scored a wonderful half volley past Gomes.

Dos Santos, Bentley and Gilberto soon came on after the 4th goal of the game. This saw tottenham bring it to boro like they was doing in the first half. A switched ball from one side of the pitch to the other from Gilberto saw bentley open to make a run into the oppenants half and to cut inside and have a shot from around 30 yards out saw it go straight passed turnbull to put spurs back to winning terms in the match. Boro kept on pressing with a few shots from aliadiere, Shawky and alves looking for his hatrick but was soon hit on the counter and was soon shot by Modric to finish off the game.

This was one of the most head to head matches witnessed this season and there is surely more of this to come.

Match rating – 8/10.
