TOTTENHAM 1 MIDDLESBROUGH 1

Tottenham failed to capitalise on first-half dominance for the second game in a row, as Middlesbrough game from behind to claim a point at White Hart Lane.

Spurs created several chances in an impressive opening 45 minutes, and took the lead inside half an hour when Jonathon Grounds could only turn an Aaron Lennon cross into his own net.

Dimitar Berbatov and Jermaine Jenas were guilty of missing chances as Spurs once again failed to show the ability to kill of teams when they are on top.

And they were made to pay as Gareth Southgate's side improved in the second half, equalising when Stewart Downing's right-foot shot deflected off the head of Jena and past Radek Cerny.

And Boro could have grabbed the win with Alfonso Alves going close late on.
