5 goals in an exciting game led to a valuable away win for Tottenham Hotspurs over Middlesbrough at the Riverside. Robbie Keane scored the opening goal after only 12 minutes with an assist from Berbatov who later made it 2 with a 25 yard volley.

The home team trailed by 2 goals until a Viduka header halved the lead. Further Boro attacks were stopped by 2 magnificent saves from Paul Robinson showing why he is the number 1 choice for England. Keane’s second goal revitalized Spurs lead until a late consolation goal by Pogatetz for Boro.

Spurs now sit 7^th in the English Premier League with a strange neutral goal difference after scoring and conceding 52 goals. The result also made it Martin Jol’s 100^th win in charge.
