Play by play

  1. 93'

    Spurs were far from their best, which will perhaps make the victory all the more pleasing. Unless the Baggies find that killer touch it's going to be a long, long season

  2. 93'

    This game was all about finishing. Spurs took their chances when they came along while the Baggies were found wanting in front of goal

  3. 93'

    And there goes the final whistle

  4. 93'

    Redknapp tries one from 25 yards but fires well wide

  5. 92'

    Poyet tries to put Keane through, but the striker is at least five yards offside

  6. 91'

    It's Clement who strikes, although the effort always has too much height and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick

  7. 91'

    Three minutes to be added

  8. 90'

    Koumas does well, breaking to the edge of the box, before he's tripped right on the edge of the D. A real chance to get a second here

  9. 90'

    Poyet tries a shot from the edge of the box only to see his effort land nearer to the corner flag than the goal

  10. 89'

    Gary Megson is still barking out the instructions, but it's all going to be in vain

  11. 88'

    Spurs break well with Davies. Keane is looking for the side rule pass, but Davies gets it wrong and the chance is gone

  12. 87'

    West Brom look to be running out of steam, surely the game's up at 3-1

  13. 86'

    A final change for West Brom. Adam Chambers is introduced in favour of Andy Johnson

  14. 85'

    Carr capitalises on a mistake by Clement and he finds Keane. The Irishman tries the first time shot with his left peg, but fires well over

  15. 84'

    Keane is caught in the face in a challenge with Wallwork and needs treatment. He looks in pain

  16. 83'

    Another change for West Brom as Jason Roberts goes off to be replaced by Daniele Dichio

  17. 82'

    It's a third for Spurs. Very little style, very little control, somehow the ball fell to Poyet and his toe poke was missed by Keane - only for the ball to find the corner of the net. 3-1

  18. 82'

    GOAL!!!!!

  19. 82'

    Iversen finds space on the edge of the six yard box. There's an almighty mele in front of goal...

  20. 81'

    Carr crosses from the right and just as Iversen looks set to head home from close range, Sigurdsson is there to nod the ball away

  21. 80'

    ...the defender fails to hit the target and that's two gilt-exdged opportunities he's wasted now. That should have been the leveller

  22. 79'

    The corner's floated in from the right and Clement rises unmarked...

  23. 78'

    Roberts looks to burst through into the area and Richards has to make the sliding tackle and concede the corner

  24. 77'

    Iversen tries to nod the ball down for Keane in the area only for Hoult to come out to claim

  25. 76'

    Clement drags back Carr when he looked to be about to burst down the wing, and that's a booking for the Baggies' defender
