La general con 9 puntos por disputar queda asi….
Craig Dawson made amends for an own goal by scoring to earn West Bromwich Albion a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane on Monday, putting a huge dent in Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of Barclays Premier League glory and moving Leicester City to within one win of the title.
For the second week in succession, Spurs were playing more than 24 hours after Leicester, this time having seen their rivals beat Swansea City 4-0 on Sunday.
Needing a win to close back to within five points of the Foxes, Spurs took the lead when Dawson diverted Christian Eriksen’s dangerous free-kick through the legs of Boaz Myhill from close range in the first half.
The hosts had already struck the woodwork twice before that opener, and did so for a third time in the second period through Erik Lamela as the Spurs’ frustration gradually increased.
And those nerves soon turned to disappointment as Dawson recovered from his own goal by heading in Craig Gardner’s corner 17 minutes from time.
The draw means Leicester can now seal the most remarkable of BPL crowns by winning at the home of 13-time champions Manchester United on Sunday while Spurs, not in action until they visit Chelsea on Monday, will have to hope for a favour from Louis van Gaal’s men.
