Spurs win.

Spurs beat Sundowns 3-1 today with goals from Keane (2) and Kanoute. Sundowns hit back late on with a well taken goal by Chebangu, a tricky forward who we couldn't manage very well.

Much of the team was different to Saturday's game. Cerny started in goal with Kelly and Edman at the full back positions. Both had solid games although Edman did get caught once or twice. Davenport and Gardner played in the centre. Routledge started wide right with Reid on the left. Mendes and Huddlestone played centre. Keane and Kanoute were up front.

I won't go into too much detail about the goals except to say they were all well taken. Keane was unlucky not to have hat-trick after hitting the bar and some dodgy looking offside decisions. Kanoute had a good game and overall Keane and Kanoute looked much better overall than Defoe and Mido. In fact, last season, Kanoute and Keane were our strongest partnership scoring more goals in less minutes than any other pairing. Another nail in the "Keane is useless" camp who seem desperate to ship him on. Madness.

It was great to see Mendes in the middle again and he got stuck in far more than Huddlestone who seemed quiet but fairly effective in a holding role. Routledge had lots of fancy tricks, some which paid off and some that didn't. A solid performance. Reid had a better game than he did on Saturday but that wasn't hard. His crossing was better but still not brilliant. Later on Lennon made an appearance and showed he is very pacey. One to watch I feel.

The most worrying feature was the way Spurs fell apart when they let in a goal. The defensive organisation was very poor for the last ten minutes. To be fair no one is match fit but the inability to clear the ball when necessary was disappointing. However Cerny had an excellent game and will be a worry free deputy should Robinson not make match fitness for the trip to Portsmouth come August 13th.

Overall though another good performance that puts us in the driving seat in our group.

COYS!
