Christian Eriksen put Spurs ahead after just seven minutes as he netted his third goal in the space of four days with a free kick into the top corner.

The visitors found themselves two goals ahead in the 13th minute when Harry Kane finished clinically into the bottom corner following an incisive breakaway.

West Brom took a few minutes to compose themselves after going two goals down, but James Morrison brought a fine save from Hugo Lloris before Claudio Yacob tested the French stopper with a low drive.

Craig Dawson then rattled the woodwork with a glancing header as Spurs found themselves on the ropes as the half-time whistle blew.
