Villa's determination at early corners gave them the initiative, but they lack a charismatic schemer to aid Stilian Petrov Shape Martin O'Neill was not fearful despite seeing Spurs rattle in nine against Wigan on the previous Sunday. He bravely went for dual strikers supported by two wingers in Ashley Young and James Milner. This was a 4-4-2 with England potential in both wide positions. The midfield...

The lesson here for Spurs was not that they cannot play Wigan every week, they knew that already, but rather that their luck will not be in every week. Considering they were away from home against a team only one place below them, this was a Tottenham performance almost as impressive as last week's cloud nine. The difference was Brad Friedel, some dogged Villa defending and, until Michael Dawson's...

Darren Bent endured an afternoon of frustration as he missed a penalty for Sunderland in a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. Robbie Keane put Spurs ahead on 12 minutes as he bundled home from close range Peter Crouch 's towering header back across goal from Benoît Assou-Ekotto's cross. Sunderland had the perfect chance to level the scores at the start of the second-half when...

While it would be stretching it to suggest that Harry Redknapp's wife would have the composure to thrash a penalty past Heurelho Gomes, Darren Bent regressed to the confidence-shorn player he once was at White Hart Lane as he squandered the chance from 12 yards to alter the outcome of this game. The script that dictates ex-players usually torment their former employers was inverted. It was a miserable...

Tottenham Hotspur were shocked 1-0 by a classic smash-and-grab performance from Stoke City at White Hart Lane. With Aaron Lennon going off with injury with 15 minutes to go and Tottenham having no substitutions remaining, Stoke capitalised to secure the victory four minutes from the end. Ricardo Fuller held the ball up in the corner before tricking Benoît Assou-Ekotto and pulling the ball back...

The talk about White Hart Lane tends to focus on the same few glamour names. Be it Jermain Defoe scoring goals, Aaron Lennon establishing himself in the England team, Ledley King having his knee problems or Peter Crouch just being Peter Crouch. With the latest focus falling on Robbie Keane and his Ireland colleagues facing France for a place in the World Cup Finals, it is even easier for the less-illustrious...

Cameroon sits at the top of Africa's Group A, having climbed from fourth (last) to first during the last break by virtue of their two wins against Gabon, who previously led the group. The Indomitable Lions lead Gabon by one point, Togo by two, with a November trip to Morocco to close-out qualifying. Cameroon is one of three African teams (along with Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire) that could challenge for...
