0-1 Rondon
1-1 Harry Kane

TOTTENHAM 1 WEST BROM 1: KANE GRABS A POINT AS SPURS LOSE MORE GROUND

Salomon Rondon's early opener was cancelled out by Harry Kane but Tottenham had to settle for a draw with lowly West Brom.

Harry Kane scored his ninth Premier League goal of the season but Tottenham's dwindling title hopes were dealt another blow as managerless West Brom left Wembley with a 1-1 draw.

Salomon Rondon gave Albion and their unheralded caretaker manager Gary Megson an early advantage five days on from Tony Pulis' sacking.

The visitors looked set for a first league victory since August until their massed defensive ranks were punctured by a typically expert piece of movement and poaching from Kane in the 74th minute.

A winner proved elusive and Mauricio Pochettino – who once again raised eyebrows pre-match by omitting Danny Rose from Tottenham's matchday squad – has presided over a solitary league victory in his past four attempts.

Spurs fall five points behind second-placed Manchester United, while leaders Manchester City will be 13 points better off if they can beat Huddersfield Town on Sunday.
