Tottenham Hotspur snatch late draw at The Hawthorns

Tottenham Hotspur come from three goals down to snatch a point in their Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

A late strike from Christian Eriksen secured a point for Tottenham Hotspur as they came from three goals down to snatch a 3-3 draw with West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

It took the Baggies just one minute to take the lead when Morgan Amalfitano's cross was punched straight into the path of Matej Vydra by Hugo Lloris and the striker volleyed home into the bottom corner.

West Brom doubled their lead minutes later when Steven Reid lifted a cross into the box which Stephane Sessegnon headed into the path of Chris Brunt, who powered his shot past Lloris.

Tottenham had the chance to get a goal back when Danny Rose was brought down in the area and a penalty was awarded. However, Emmanuel Adebayor's spot kick was poor and was saved by Ben Foster.

Pepe Mel's side extended their lead in the 31st minute when Sessegnon latched onto a ball over the top of the Spurs defence and slotted an effort past Lloris after outpacing Vlad Chiriches.

However, Tottenham were handed a way back into the game when Harry Kane raided down the right and lifted a cross into the area, and his ball in was deflected over Foster into his own net by Jonas Olsson.

After half time, Spurs began to up the ante and Foster was forced to produce an excellent save to help his side keep their two-goal cushion as he tipped Aaron Lennon's effort past wide of the post.

Tottenham pulled within a goal when Lennon ran down the line and lifted cross into the near post where Harry Kane was there to power a header past Foster.

Tim Sherwood's side pressed for a late equaliser and threw everything at the Baggies, and they got their goal through Eriksen as he powered home the loose ball from Lennon's cross.
