A rare clean sheet

Spurs 2 Boro 0 (3rd round Carling Cup)

Team line-up: Robinson, Chimbonda, Kaboul, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Bale, Huddlestone, Tainio, Lennon, Berbatov, Defoe

I can hardly believe it. A win AND a CLEAN SHEET! Shame they can't do it in the league as well.

With only intermittent bulletins on Gillette Soccer Special, it sounded as if Spurs had heaps of goal chances and again failed to take them.

Defoe was brought back into the team and surprisingly didn't get on the score sheet; Zokora fluffed a chance in added time and I feel he should get extra curricular training on how to shoot'. Hey Zok - it's the netty looking thing between those two posts!! :-D

Both goals came within 3 minutes of each other (72, 75) from midfielders Bale and Huddlestone.
This happened a couple of minutes after Defoe was subbed much to his disappointment. This might have looked a bad decision but it worked out perfectly! We need our strikers to start scoring regularly though - Bale is now top scorer with three.

Well at least we will avoid Man Utd in the next round. They lost at home to Coventry 0-2!! (of course I'm not laughing)
