Spurs
started their season with a disappointing 2-0 away defeat
at the hands of Bolton. Davies and Ivan Campo scored
two early goals for the home side and the Spurs couldn't
recover from the early shock. Ghaly wasn't selected
for today's game as he didn't make it to the match squad.
Despite the impressive preseason for Tottenham,
the Spurs had a very poor start for the season on Saturday
as they fell as victim for Bolton Wanderers who who
the game 2-0 and could even score more goals.
Tottenham played the away game with Berbatov
and Defoe in attack but both didn't link well with each
other. In midfield, Zokora, Jenas and Davids started
and the whole midfield underperformed. Ghaly wasn't
even on the bench but after this poor show from Tottenham's
midfield, the Egyptian will likely be given a chance
in the coming games.
Both goals of Bolton came in the first
15 minutes and Spurs couldn't recover from this early
shock. The first goal came through a corner kick from
the right wing which was delivered into the near post
to find Davies
who was totally unmarked and got a free header in front
of goal, from which he scored to give Bolton a 1-0 lead.
A few minutes later, the ball was cleared poorly by the Spurs
defense to fall to the former Real Madrid defender Ivan Campo
who fired a low shot from 40 yards which beat Robinson and
ended its path into the back of the net.
