BLACKBURN 1 TOTTENHAM 1

Tottenham failed to capitalise on their first-half dominance, as Blackburn came back from a goal down to claim a 1-1 draw at Ewood Park.

Dimitar Berbatov put Spurs ahead in the seventh minute, tapping in from close range after a cross from Jermaine Jenas.

And Spurs, looking to forget the 4-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle in their last outing, should have scored more in the first-half.

But Blackburn equalised after half an hour after the impressive David Bentley brilliantly set up Morten Gamst Pederson.

The second half failed to live up to the standards of the first, and Blackburn looked the most likely to win it.

David Bentley appeared to be obstructed by Brazilian full back Gilberto, although whether he could have got out of the way is a matter for debate.

But Peter Walton waved away the home side's appeal as both sides had to settle for a point.
