Tottenham 2 Liverpool 1

Tottenham 2 Liverpool 1

In a game that Spurs should have scored 4 or 5 we had to settle! for a 2 -1 win. I thought we played well throughout and to be fair our goal was not threatened too much throughout the game. Bassong started his first Premier League game for us and played well. Our first goal came from a set piece. Huddlestone cannoned the ball into the Liverpool wall with Bennoit Assou - Ekotto picking up the rebound and rifling in his shot from outside the penalty box on his left.

It may have seemed earlier that we may have missed our chance with Keane aiming a free header straight at the Liverpool goalkeeper and again spurning an opportunity when breaking into the box and a third when he found himself in space only to blaze over.

The second half started poorly when a searing run from Liverpool new boy, Glen Johnson's surging run into the penalty box earnt him a penalty when Gomes brought him down. I felt this was disappointing defending when Huddlestone had allowed hi to cut passed him goalside and also the needless challenge from Gomes.

Our lead was soon restored when Bassong rose above the Liverpool defence to meet a free kick and head Spurs back into the lead. Liverpool had the best of the game from that point on apart from a quick break from Lennon almost lead to a Spurs goal but Lennon missed his chance to play in Defoe.

There were penalty shouts by both sides in the last few moments but both were waved away. Tottenham held on for a well deserved win. Next up is Hull next Wednesday, lets hope we can repeat the 3-0 from a couple of weeks ago.

COYS!
