drive by Luke young in the 2nd half.
Spurs attack composed of Darren Bent and Jermain Defoe
while Berbatov and Keane started on bench and came on
in the 2nd half. On the other hand, Jeremie Aliadiere
and Sanli Tuncay were the attacking duo for Boro and
both came off in the 2nd half as well and were replaced
by Dong Gook and Hutcheson.
Spurs were the better side at the start of the game
and continued to control the game most of the first
half. On the other side, Boro improved alot with the
start of the 2nd half till they scored the equalizer
and then the game became even from both sides.

of his groin injury while Shawky wasn't chosen for the
