TOTTENHAM pulled off the late, late show to score a win at the Hawthorns to fire them TOP of the Premier League.
Harry Kane is the man of the hour as his strike nudged Spurs ahead of Southampton at the summit of the Prem table.
FINAL SCORE: West Brom 0-1 Tottenham (Kane 88)
SPURS AT THE TOP
THAT’S A WRAP
West Brom you were so close yet so far.
Slaven Bilics’ position in charge of the Baggies is in even more Jeopardy after another poor result against Spurs.
West Brom were dominant for long periods of the game but a mixture of opportunities wasted and world class saves from Hugo Lloris prevented them from getting on the scoresheet.
Spurs would eventually start to apply pressure on the home side and pressure in this case, makes goals as it was a late header from Harry Kane who enabled the visitors to run away with all three points.
To make things sweeter, the England international’s 150th Premier League goal puts his club top of the charts before other matches are concluded today.
As for the Baggies, Bilic can be proud of his team because it was a good performance but unfortunately, good performances means nothing if you don’t gain any points.
Thank you sticking with us this afternoon. Plenty more action to follow here on SunSport.
Have a good Sunday!
HAPPY HARRY
A message from the match winner.
CLUB 150
Only Alan Shearer and Segrio Aguero have done it quicker!
HARRY KANE SPEAKS
“It was a tough game, it was a big battle. Second half was a lot better than the first but they were defending for their lives as we knew they would.”
“It was about getting that breakthrough and thankfully I got a little header in there to mark the 150.”
“I think as the game opened up, we was creating more and more chances. Had a couple that they blocked off the line and the keeper made some good saves.”
“First half they created a couple chances, set pieces they were dangerous so we had to be on it and a clean sheet’s a very good one away from home and we’re delighted with the three points.”
“It puts us top of the league and that’s what our aim was coming into this game.”
“We would of taken being top of the league at this point in the season but there’s a lot of big games to come. After the international break, I think we play three or four of the top six so, we can start talking about who’s going to win the league come March, April times but so far so good.”
