Tottenham vs. West Brom: Score, Reaction from 2016 Premier League Game

Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League title chances suffered a major blow on Monday evening after Craig Dawson hit back from his early own goal to salvage a 1-1 draw for West Bromwich Albion at White Hart Lane.   

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was left frustrated after seeing his side hit the woodwork three times in north London, but West Brom held out to snatch a share of the spoils.

Dawson struck twice in the same net to dent Tottenham’s slim hopes of hauling back the title race, and Spurs will rue their shortcomings in what will have been seen as a must-win encounter.

A quarter-of-an-hour in and it seemed a matter of when and not if the hosts would get their breakthrough, and Nigerian broadcaster Deji Kofi Faremi testified to the home side’s domination early on:
