    Spurs are yet to get going again but there are shouts for a penalty for the home side here, as Craig Dawson holds off Dele Alli inside the area.

    Referee Anthony Taylor is not convinced, however, and it is his opinion that counts.

    West Brom have already tweaked their system, now they are changing personnel. James McClean is on for Chris Brunt.

    Tottenham 2-0 West Brom

    Tottenham have had to wait for their first attack for the break and, when they do come forward, Darren Fletcher fouls Dele Alli as he heads for the Baggies area.

    Christian Eriksen takes the free-kick, but bends it straight into the arms of Ben Foster.

    Stuart Longley: It looks as if the switch to 3-4-3 is having the same effect on Spurs as it did Chelsea. Have to be seen as title contenders.

    David Randall: Are West Brom allowed to have a shot?

    More pressure from West Brom and a couple of Chris Brunt crosses come into the Spurs area. Nobody can get on the end of them, but at least they are giving the home side something to think about in this half.

    It looks like a change of system from West Brom, like they're trying to match Spurs' 3-4-3. Gareth McAuley seems to have come out to the left of a three-man defence.

    Another Baggies ball forward aimed for Matt Phillips sees Hugo Lloris dash from his area to volley clear. Darren Fletcher tries to loft the ball back over the Spurs keeper from the half-way line, but is a long way off target.

    Better from West Brom already. Matt Phillips sprints on to the end of a precise through ball by Salomon Rondon, and rolls his shot just wide of the post.

    Spurs get the second half started. No changes from either side at half-time.

  10. Any way back for the Baggies?published at 13:31

    Tottenham 2-0 West Brom

    So, is there any way back for the Baggies. They can't be as bad after the break as they were in that first half, surely?

    Sadly for Tony Pulis's side, however they respond there is every chance Tottenham will be as good as they were in the first 45 minutes too. 

    Spurs are up to second in the table as things stand after that sizzling display, four points behind leaders Chelsea.

  11. Tottenham's flying full-backspublished at 13:25

    Typically, Tottenham's full backs - Danny Rose (3) and Kyle Walker (2) - have been as advanced as anyone in white so far. 

    A look at the average positions of where players have touched the ball shows how much time they are spending high up the pitch. 

    The West Brom half is where pretty much all of the game is taking place, so not surprise to find pretty much all of the Baggies players have their average position there too.

    Paul Lummis: Are there any teams playing more aesthetically pleasing football than Tottenham anywhere in England right now? Dominant.

    Maxim Del Mar: So far the best first-half performance I've seen from any team in the Prem. Spurs mean business.

    Sam Pougher: I wonder if West Brom will even decide to turn up in the second half. They certainly didn't show up in the first half.

    With this Diego Costa situation at Chelsea - we thought they were favourites but perhaps that's starting to change.

    Tottenham have been exceptional here, an absolute joy to watch.

  15. 'Poor, poor goal' to concedepublished at 13:20 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Harry Kane will be a lot more relieved after scoring Tottenham's first goal because he had that great chance early on. But, edge of the box, Christian Eriksen shouldn't be allowed to do that, with nobody closing him down. 

    It was a poor, poor goal from Albion's point of view. It's far too easy for Tottenham, and it has been the same for the whole first half.

    Tottenham have been dominant in possession, they've been sharper and their movement has been great.

    They only criticism is they haven't scored three, four or five yet.

    Tottenham are enjoying themselves now, playing flicks and first-time passes. 

    West Brom continue to look totally deflated.

    The good news for West Brom? Um, I'm struggling to be honest, apart from that it is almost half-time.

    Tottenham have not had a shot for a while and Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris has taken a couple of touches (with his feet) but that is as good as it has got for the Baggies so far. They still have not had an effort at goal.
