Tottenham 4-0 Derby

Steed Malbranque is on fire and the team make cheerful use of the insecure opposition. Three goals after 15 minutes; the must-win game in the buds of a “crisis” became a show. Jermaine Jenas grabs a goal, Darren Bent scores his first competitive Spurs goal and Adel Taarabt comes on to entertain for a while. Against a team which lacked competitive edge and had effectively lost the game after 6 minutes, even a clean sheet was possible. Fun times for the people clad in white. Less fun for Stephen Bywater.
