Half-Time Report: Tottenham Hotspur lead against Norwich City

Gylfi Sigurdsson gives Tottenham Hotspur the lead against Norwich City at White Hart Lane in the first half.

Tottenham Hotspur lead 1-0 against Norwich City at half time in the Premier League, thanks to Gylfi Sigurdsson's strike.

Spurs' goal came on the back on concerted pressure, with debutant Christian Eriksen laying the ball off to the Icelandic international, who placed the ball into the corner.

Tottenham started brightly and almost took the lead when Andros Townsend drilled a 30-yard shot just wide of John Ruddy's goal.

Roberto Soldado came close with a clever effort when, with his back to goal, he back-heeled the ball against the post.

Norwich looked to counter-attack and Dutch striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel was alive to Nathan Redmond's ball, but he directed his shot wide.

But Andre Villas-Boas's side enjoyed 73% possession in the first half and, with plenty of shots at goal, the hosts will feel confident of getting their third win of the season.
