What were the key moments in the Tottenham vs West Brom match?
And he was second best, the goalkeeper, and it's been turned in by Craig Dawson. He's scored at both ends. Spurs' lead is wiped out and their title challenge is in the balance here.
That's the way to finish tonight, where Spurs really had to win. West Brom denied them and most likely ended their title hopes. Finished 1-1, 19 attempts for Spurs, but only two on target. That's the fewest they've had in a game this season. What a night for that to happen. They had more of the ball, more touches in the opposition area. They had their chances as well, Spurs, but they could not take them. Harry Kane had five of those chances, and he's with Jeff Shreves.
Harry, it was a must-win game, desperately disappointing. Does it feel like it's gone?
It's not gone. We've got to keep fighting.
How did Spurs' performance impact their title hopes?
Of course, we felt like we needed to win this game. But, like I say, we're disappointed. We had enough chances, especially in the first half, to put it to bed. But if you give teams like West Brom a bit of a sniff, they come back and we just wasn't good enough in the second half.
As you say, you hit the woodwork three times. Is it difficult to believe you didn't come away with all three points?
Yeah, we've had a few of these this season where we haven't put teams to bed. Yeah, it's disappointing. Obviously, we felt like we could have easily won the game if we come out in the second half like we did in the first. But it's football and let's say we're disappointed, but all we can do is keep fighting the last three games, do what we can. How big a blow is this? Yeah, it's a big blow, of course. We felt like we had to win all our games and we've come away with a draw today, which is... Yeah, a big blow, but it's football. We've got a dust to tell us off, so there's nothing we can do about it.
What were Harry Kane's thoughts on the missed opportunities?
Yeah, we've just got to move on, and like I say, we've got Chelsea next, and hopefully Manchester do us a favour, and we'll go from there.
Darren, Greg, first of all, Tony Pulisic was looking for a reaction to the performance at the Emirates. Did he get it?
Yeah, I think so, yeah. As I said, after the game, we got into it, and obviously made sure that we're not on the early, so it was a great reaction tonight.
You looked much improved in the second half. What did you say during the break?
Just keep doing what we're doing, to be honest. Pressing high, switching play when we can, and get the balls into the box, really. Obviously, with Fletcher in there, with Jack, it was good that we were pressing.
Darren, you know what it's like when you're chasing a title. You come up against a side like West Brom. Graham's going to call them the awkward squad tonight. Go along with that?
Yeah, we're not easy to play against, there's no doubt about that.
How did West Brom respond to Tottenham's pressure?
We've been on a run where we've not picked up points and before the Arsenal game we were undeserved really. We should have picked up full points in two games and then we had a poor performance against Arsenal in front of the cameras as well. So we wanted to put that right tonight and I think eventually second half you've seen what we're about really and that's our level and that's what we need to reach if we want to get results.
Did you understand before the game though, because you've reached 40 points, why there were questions about your motivation tonight?
Yeah, but if anybody had watched us the two games previous, we went to Man City and were fully deserving of getting something from the game and didn't. And our home game against Watford, we dominated the game. So I think people looked to us against Arsenal and wanted to question us, but that was one game, and that was the one game we were probably disappointed by all season. And you can have an off night, and I think people questioning us, it hurt us, and we wanted to change that tonight.
Craig, I think you were unhappy with the award of the free kick, which led to the first goal, weren't you?
I understand it's difficult for the referees. It's a big game. But as I say, the decision was made and we got on with it, to be honest. We bounced back and got our rewards.
