TOTTENHAM 1 BOLTON 1

Tottenham's season continued to fizzle out with little more than a whimper as relegation threatened Bolton nicked a valuable point.

Spurs completing dominated the first half in front of new £15.8million signing Luka Modric in the stands, but not for the first time in recent weeks failed to take advantage of their dominance.

Bolton took a shock lead when Stelios bundled the ball home at the start of the second half.

But they couldn't hold on for a valuable win, as Spurs levelled matters just five minutes later. Robbie Keane's shot deflected to Steed Malbranque who finished from close range.

Dimitar Berbatov, who Juande Ramos admitted after the game could leave the club at the right price, should have secured three points for the home side, but he sent his late header over the bar.

WIGAN 1 TOTTENHAM 1

An early Dimitar Berbatov strike was cancelled out by Emile Heskey as Wigan shared the points with Tottenham to edge towards Premier League safety.

Berbatov opened the scoring after six minutes, finishing in style after a crosss from Aaron Lennon.

But Heskey drew the scores level in the 12th minute with an impressive turn and finish.

Marcus Bent hit the bar in the second half as Spurs were once again unable to produce a consistant performance over 90 minutes.

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.

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.
