GOALS:
Tottenham:
24, Ferdinand - Anderton supplied a fantastic trademark cross, and Ferdinand got his head to the ball, beating the dis-positioned Jerzy Dudek. A fine start for Spurs!
Liverpool:
27, Owen - A good ball from Barmby gave Owen a golden oppurtunity to do what he does best, and bring Liverpool back into the game.
Tottenham:
86, Rebrov - Davies picked the ball after Dudek denied Etherington. The young Welshman then fed Rebrov the ball in acres of space, as he calmly slotted the ball in from close-range. Left it late but they got it!
Summary:
Liverpool dominaterd the first half but failed to put away more than one of the many chances they'd worked so hard to earn. Golden-boy Michael Owen missed a sitter than should've put Liverpool ahead! Spurs looked shut-out, but began to shine late on after Ferdinand's goal.
No changes made by either side at half-time, but Ziege and King workedhard to support the attack, and it seemed to have a positive effect! The tables turned as Spurs looked the more dominant side, and should have quite easily put a few past the hard-working Dudek. Liverpool aslo had their moments, but Neil Sullivan showed why he's Scotland's no.1!!
MotM: Dean Richards (Tottenham)
A fine display from the new signing, showing why he was rated at nearly £10m by former club Southampton.
A call-up for England in the future maybe???
Neil Sullivan also had a superb match, denying Owen and Anelka on many occasions. But Richards won the vote.
Spurs showed that when they're down, they're certainly not out!

THE MATCH:
0 mins Villa started the match
4 mins Branch takes a long shot, but it is always going wide
8 mins Vassell with a long shot, but miskicks and it goes well wide
9 mins GOAL: Oakes kicks straight to Angel from a goal kick, and he finds the top-right corner
15 mins Branch controls a long ball from Muscatt, but fires straight at Encklemen
20 mins Branch shoots just wide at the near post after good work by Blake
37 mins Vassell beats his man, but his through ball to Angel is just too hard and Oakes collects
44 mins Branch shoots straight at Encklemen from long range again
HALF TIME
45 mins Wolves kick off
47 mins Two claims for penalties as Branch and then Sturridge are brought down in quick succession, the ref gives nothing, Sturridge appears to pick up an injury
55 mins Branch’s shot, destined for a certain goal from 8yds out, is blocked by Melberg and goes out of play
55 mins SUBSTITUTION: Flo replaces Sturridge
56 mins A dangerous cross from Blake is collected by Encklemen
63 mins Staunton is fouled by Blake trying to get to Kennedy’s cross
63 mins SUBSTITUTION: Emblem replaces the ineffective Blake, Wolves switch to 4-4-2
71 mins Hendrie and Hadji both pick up injuries from Emblem and Rae
71 mins SUBSTITUTION: Hendrie and Hadji replaced by Balaban and Kachloul
74 mins Branch with a good shot, well saved by Encklemen to his right
84 mins Vassell’s shot is beaten away after panic in the Wolves’ defence
90 mins A goal mouth scramble in the Villa area is eventually cleared by Melberg
REPORT:
In a game dominated by the home team, Villa were rather lucky to get a win here. If it hadn’t been for the goal keeping blunder in the 9th minute, Wolves would certainly have gotten a point, and probably deserved the 3 (12?) points! Branch should really have put at least one chance away.
Man of the Match: Close, but I think Melberg just pinches it ahead of Angel
