Tottenham Hotspur’s English striker Harry Kane (2L) vies with West Bromwich Albion’s English midfielder Sam Field (L) and West Bromwich Albion’s English midfielder Gareth Barry during the English Premier League football match between Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion.Ian KINGTON / AFPTottenham’s troubles against defensive teams resurfaced as they were held to a damaging 1-1 draw against managerless West Bromwich Albion at Wembley on Saturday.
After complaining this week that his team had struggled to break down teams that defend deep, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was frustrated again as lowly West Brom held on.
They took a surprise early lead through Salomon Rondon before Harry Kane gained a point for Spurs with an instinctive near-post finish in the 74th minute.
It was the Baggies, led by caretaker boss Gary Megson in the first match following Tony Pulis’s sacking, who could easily have claimed all three points as Hal Robson-Kanu missed a fine chance at the end.
