Spurs managed their fourth straight 1-1 draw as they statistically dominated visiting Bolton but had very little to show for their efforts except for the one point.
This draw was different from the previous three in that they came from behind in this one. Bolton scored first, in the opening minute of the second half, when a misplayed clearance sent the visitors onrushing the goal, the result being that Stelios Giannakopoulos knocked the ball in from close range amidst a tangle of fallen bodies in front of the goal.
Spurs replied just a few minutes later as Steed Malbranque chipped in a pass from Robbie Keane to level the score. The rest of the match was a continuation of what had transpired in the first half, with Spurs unable to finish the chances they were given.
An unremarkable game, even if Bolton were fighting to stave off relegation as Spurs really have nothing to play for other than their pride. That being said, it wasn't like the match was a trivial exhibition, both teams were trying hard to win, it's just that the shots didn't fall today as they sometimes do.
SOCCERNET REPORT.
The really good news is that Croatian midfielder Luka Modric is now a Spur, having watched the match from the directors box today and choosing the team over Newcastle. Heh heh heh. STORY
