Tottenham Hotspur Heating Up

Tottenham Hotspur brought home another victory this Saturday against West Bromwich Albion, closing out the match 3-1. Scoring opened up within the first ten minutes of play when West Bromwich’s Youssouf Mulumbu found the back of the net with a well placed header.  West Bromwich gave up a penalty kick mid-half, giving Emmanuel Adebayor a chance to level the score.  Despite a weak shot, Adebayor was able to collect the rebound and properly net the ball.

Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp had nothing but praise for Jermain Defoe, who replaced an injured Rafael Van der Vaart.  His top form was exactly what the team needed.  It was Defoe’s goal in the 81st minute that put Tottenham ahead.  To put the nail in the coffin, Adebayor slotted Totttenham’s final goal with the help of Gareth Bale.

Adebayor’s top-notch performance in Tottenham's victory should make Manchester City rethink their decision to send him away on loan for the season.  These thoughts, however, will fall on deaf ears; Man City can’t afford to bring him back.

Tottenham stars Rafael Van der Vaart and Luka Modric are both out of commission at the moment.  With this victory fresh in mind, Harry Redknapp will have some roster adjusting to do if he wants to keep his winning ways.
