16.32 – Tottenham have 71% possession so far, according to Sky Sports.

They also have 6 attempts, in comparison to Blackburn’s 0, which gives you an idea of their level of dominance.

16.40 – Blackburn have rarely threatened, however as the cliché attests, they still have every chance while it’s 1-0.

16.44 – Gallas has just hit the crossbar with a header on from a corner. Tottenham’s inability to take these chances may come back to haunt them, not for the first time this season.

16.55 – So at half-time, Tottenham appear very much in control. Some of their passing and movement has been scintillating at times.

However, with Spurs’ dodgy form recently, it would be foolish to write off Blackburn, despite their current lack of an attacking threat.

18.02 – According to Sky, West Brom against Man City in 2004 was the last time a team failed to register a shot on target for the entire match.

Apparently, Van der Vaart said “no chance” when Walker initially asked if he could take the free kick. He adds that it was “a good team performance” from Tottenham.

18.06 – So Tottenham are now fourth, ahead of Newcastle on goal difference, and only four points behind Arsenal with a game in hand.
