Went and saw Tottenham Hotspur verses Middlesborough at White Hart Lane today. Always a good atmosphere at The Lane, but a few empty seats as it was a mid-week game. For a different view of White Hart Lane, check out Google Maps

Tottenham always looked to be the stronger team, but at half-time it was all square at 0-0. Spurs came back out for the second half with a renewed purpose. Dimitar Berbatov scored a wonderful goal to set them on their way. It did look like Middlesborough may get something out of the game when Robert Huth levelled on 80 minutes.

Martin Jol then made a change, which proved to be crucial. The Dutchman brought on Robbie Keane, who with only six minutes left unleashed an unstoppable drive from the edge of the box.

Tempers started to get a bit frayed and three minutes from time it all bubbled over. After a strong tackle on Aaron Lennon, players from both sides took offence and a pushing match developed. Both George Boetang and Didier Zokora where sent off for raised arms.

It finished 2-1 to Spurs, who deserved the victory.
