Trending
A rampant Spurs side extended their unbeaten home record in the league to 11 (9 wins, 2 draws) with an emphatic 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion. The North Londoners had failed to win 6 out of the last 7 home matches against the Baggies. But this time around, they went all guns blazing right from the kickoff to rise to 2nd position in the Premier League.
Spurs got their lead in the 12th minute as their star striker Harry Kane cleverly lifted Christian Eriksen's through ball in off the upright. He added two more to complete his 4th hat-trick in Tottenham colours. Kane had 9 touches in the West Brom penalty area while the Baggies' entire team only managed seven touches in Spurs' box. The English striker has now scored 94% of his Premier League goals for Tottenham from inside the box.
Tottenham have adapted to the 3-4-3 system well. They bossed possession and created numerous opportunities.The wing-backs Danny Rose and Kyle Walker have been a great attacking threat from wide areas. Mauricio Pochettino’s side also looked defensively solid, preventing the Baggies from having any shot on target.
This victory will keep Spurs in the hunt for the league title that eluded them last season. Tony Pulis will be disappointed with his side’s defence which kept only 3 clean sheets this season.
