    Half-time cannot come soon enough for Tony Pulis, he needs to change things up.

    He needs to be braver and push the two wide midfield player higher up the pitch.

    Andrew Priestly: This is just shooting practice for Spurs. They could (and should) be completely out of sight by now.

    George Grandage: Final score: TOT 6 - 0 WBA, Man of the match: Ben Foster.

    Daniel Tinkler: Come half time Ben Foster will be placing 10 calls to the missing persons hotline. Some phenomenal saves.

    This is far too easy for Tottenham, because the Baggies cannot get into this game in defence or attack... or midfield for that matter.

    I would have thought that West Brom boss Tony Pulis would be ready to spontaneously combust, but he actually looks quite calm on the touchline.

    He might be different in the dressing room at half-time, though.

    Now that is a great save from Foster to tip Kane's shot round the post.

    Harry Kane could easily have had a hat-trick by now.

    Harry Kane just waltzes into position between the two centre-backs yet again - it's a good save from Ben Foster but he doesn't know much about it, he's just in the right place at the right time.

    It could be 4-0 or 5-0 already.

    Erm, how about another Harry Kane shot, another superb Ben Foster save?

    Yep, this time Kane lets fly from further out, about 25 yards, with a zipping low shot that Foster tips round his post.

    Here come Spurs again. This time Kyle Walker finds Harry Kane in front of goal, but he is denied by another excellent Ben Foster save.

    What a goal that would've been from Dele Alli - incisive movement, crisp passing and a brilliant finish with the outside of his boot.

    But the offside call is the right one.

    For the second goal it's too much freedom again - the ball played across, a shot and Gareth McAuley unfortunately he's tried to clear it and he's just got the last touch. It was coming. If the game carries on like this, it could be any score. There's no relief for Albion. They just can't get hold of the ball in the Tottenham half. It's too easy.

    What a move this is. Tottenham completely rampant as Christian Eriksen slides Dele Alli clear and he supplies a composed finish to match - but the flag is up and the celebrations do not last long this time.

    I was about to say 2-0 would be a fair reflection of this game and seconds later - it is!

    I don't think Eriksen can claim that one - there are a couple of deflections there and Ben Foster has no chance.

    Spurs are looking brilliant right now, sharp passing, sharp movement. Tony Pulis might be fuming but his side just aren't at the races right now.

    Gareth McAuley og - 26 mins

    Tottenham make it 2-0. Deservedly, you have to say.

    There is a double deflection involved here, though, so a little lucky. Christian Eriksen's shot from the edge of the area hits Jonas Olsson and then Gareth McAuley on its way past Ben Foster, who was left with no chance.

    I've absolutely no idea how that didn't go in. Ben Foster has just put an arm out and found it nestled there.

    Spurs are looking magnificent here.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 25 mins

    Tottenham 1-0 West Brom

    Ben Foster's turn to make a good save, and this one would have counted. Harry Kane stoops to get on the end of a low ball into the box but his header is somehow kept out by the Baggies keeper.

  18. 'Phillips should clear the one-man wall'published at 12:54 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Tottenham 1-0 West Brom

    Danny Mills
    Ex-England defender on Radio 5 live

    Tony Pulis is fuming at the fourth official about Christian Eriksen being only seven yards from Matt Phillips' free-kicks.

    Seven yards is a long way though - he should still be clearing him. If he hits him again then either Pulis is going to say something very upsetting to the fourth official or Phillips is getting hauled.

  19. Postpublished at 23 mins

    Tottenham 1-0 West Brom

    Well, the free-kick was terrible - Matt Phillips fired it straight at Christian Eriksen again.

    But the Tottenham defence went walkabout after that, with Jonas Olsson getting on the end of a cross into the box and it took a brilliant Hugo Lloris stop to keep out Salomon Rondon's close-range shot from Olsson's knockdown.

    Turns out there was a good reason there were no Spurs defenders in sight, though. The linesman's flag went up when Olsson got on the end of the initial ball. That wouldn't have counted but, even so, a great stop.
