Spurs 4, Wanderers 0: How did what - and when

JUSSI JAASKELAINEN ... 9

But for some world class saves it could have been total embarrassment

ANTHONY BARNESS ... 6

A harsh penalty against him and another own goal; he hates White Hart Lane

GUDNI BERGSSON ... 6

An unhappy return to his old stamping ground

MIKE WHITLOW ... 5

Never recovered after a clash with Richards; left the ground by ambulance

RICARDO GARDNER ... 6

Disappointing after hitting the heights at Newcastle; better second half

NICKY SOUTHALL ... 6

Overworked trying to put the screen on the back four

BO HANSEN ... 5

Made little progress on the right as Spurs ran the show KEVIN NOLAN ... 5

Battled bravely but the frustrations mounted ... booked and subbed

GARETH FARRELLY ... 5

Worked hard but with little end product to show for it

HENRIK PEDERSEN ... 5

Disappointing by his own admission; few chances up front

MICHAEL RICKETTS ... 5

No joy against a solid Spurs defence - and with Eriksson watching!

Men of the Match

DARREN ANDERTON and JUSSI JAASKELAINEN

THE Spurs man still has hopes of regaining his England place and played as though he meant it; if Jaaskelainen had not performed heroics, you shudder to think how embarrassing the scorfeline could have been.

Moan of the Match

WITH Spurs in this sort of mood they were always up against it but Wanderers were so poor it took them until the 69th minute to get the tamest of shots on target.

Magic Moment

HEARING the news that Mike Whitlow's injuries were not thought to be serious. Having been so violently sick at half time and leaving the ground in an abulance was worrying.

KICK BY KICK

6 minutes

Jaaskelainen does well to beat away Poyet's first time shot from Etherington's left wing cross. 11 minutes

Jaaskelainen does even better, saving Iversen's powerful close-ranger header after Richards gets a flick on Thatcher's throw.

14 minutes

Rebrov spurns a glorious chance, heading over after Poyet knocks Anderton's cross back into the danger area.

18 minutes

Jaaskelainen makes it a 'hat-trick' going down to his left to save Iversen's shot, teed up by Rebrov.

GOAL!

21 minutes

Barness is harshly penalised for a tackle as Anderton goes for a return header from Poyet; Anderton scores from the spot.

29 minutes

Barness gets in before Rebrov with Poyet's cross needing just a touch.

31 minutes Richards races back to clear the danger from Ricketts in a chase for Nolan's long ball.

GOAL!

35 minutes

Richards is the provider, playing a delicately-weighted pass for Anderton to supply the cross for Iversen to convert with a smart finish.

42 minutes

Poyet hits the post after a breathtaking passing movement rounded off by a clever back-heel from Iversen.
