Play by play
- 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
- 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
- 93'
And there goes the final whistle
- 93'
Redknapp tries one from 25 yards but fires well wide
- 92'
Poyet tries to put Keane through, but the striker is at least five yards offside
- 91'
It's Clement who strikes, although the effort always has too much height and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick
- 91'
Three minutes to be added
- 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
- 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
- 89'
Gary Megson is still barking out the instructions, but it's all going to be in vain
- 88'
Spurs break well with Davies. Keane is looking for the side rule pass, but Davies gets it wrong and the chance is gone
- 87'
West Brom look to be running out of steam, surely the game's up at 3-1
- 86'
A final change for West Brom. Adam Chambers is introduced in favour of Andy Johnson
- 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
- 84'
Keane is caught in the face in a challenge with Wallwork and needs treatment. He looks in pain
- 83'
Another change for West Brom as Jason Roberts goes off to be replaced by Daniele Dichio
- 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
- 82'
GOAL!!!!!
- 82'
Iversen finds space on the edge of the six yard box. There's an almighty mele in front of goal...
- 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
- 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
- 79'
The corner's floated in from the right and Clement rises unmarked...
- 78'
Roberts looks to burst through into the area and Richards has to make the sliding tackle and concede the corner
- 77'
Iversen tries to nod the ball down for Keane in the area only for Hoult to come out to claim
- 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
