    West Brom are having a go but they are struggling to make an impression on one of the division's most resolute defences. Only Manchester United have conceded fewer league goals than Spurs.

    Garth Crooks
    Former Spurs striker on Final Score

    "Tony Pulis must be doing his crust. Tottenham play in one ball, from 40 yards, and they lead. 

    "Dele Alli runs from deep, into the box between two centre-backs, and finishes with a volley. I want to know how the defenders allowed him such space."

    "Dele Alli’s composure, his pace, his intelligence... I cannot believe he was a lower-league player a year ago. It’s remarkable, and no-one scores those kind of goals against West Brom."

    Now that they're behind, West Brom are going to have to abandon their early strategy, you suspect. And already they are pushing up the park a little.

    Spurs really do look comfortable on the ball, popping it about with ease. Yet to create anything, mind.

    Tottenham win the first corner, Dele Alli the man who won it after a burst forward. The delivery is played short and the chance is spurned.

    West Brom are playing a back four, it seems. Surely that's not Jonny Evans in a deep-lying midfield role? Bold.
