Excellent victory.

Tottenham's 1-0 victory at Manchester City made it 3 wins on the bounce and our first back to back away games win for 5 years. Kanoute's goal was the star of the show with a marvelous left footed strike from the edge of the area leaving calamity with no chance.

Citeh started the brighter with Spurs struggling to get out of their own half for at least the first 15 minutes. Manchester City failed to take advantage and it let Spurs back in. Ricketts had a good run beating two Citeh players before rolling his shot just wide with James beaten. Keane also found himself one on one with Calamity after a superb through ball by Mendes but he put wide as well. To be fair James did everything he could do and forced Keane to shoot wide more than Keane making a mistake.

The second half was much improved. Mendes and Naybet were both replaced, due to slight knocks, by Kelly and Gardner. This allowed Atouba to move up into left wing. Kelly had another assured performance apart from one reckless challenge where he could of broken Wright-Phillips' leg but luckily he didn't. Spurs were able to push on more and create plenty of goal scoring opportunities. Brown set up Kanoute's excellent goal and Keane could of had at least two. The first he had to go wide and Dunn was able to clear the ball off his line for a corner. After reading the message boards (see links) you would think the goal was at Keane's total mercy but from the angle he was at he did his best. The second effort he should of scored though. Brown broke down the right and played a superb ball into Keane who missed from two yards. The ball did bobble but it was one Keane should of buried. In the end it didn't matter and Keane still worked extremely hard for the team.

Although I only saw the 55 minutes of highlights shown on Sky's Match Choice it did appear that Carrick did absolutely nothing whatsoever. Maybe he did loads in the bits Sky and the BBC chose not to show but judging on what I did see today he looks more and more lost back in the Premiership.

Overall a great win against a fellow under performer which sets us up nicely for Redknapp to bring SCBC to Spurs next Saturday. Another win at home then will put us well on the way to a much improved league position.
