Tottenham - Charlton [r]

So, did anyone SEE this one?

Highlights? Anything?

Sounds like the Spurs controlled the match but couldn't finish.

Hey, that's football. The Addicks have played some matches just like that this season. Control the run of play and lose on one small mis-step.

So, Cole comes on and heads in a Parker free kick? Cool. How did Cole look? Is he the striker we so desperately need up front with hard working DiCanio?

Sorry, Cole's header came on DiCanio's corner.

And I take it we had other chances.

Caught the highlight of Johanson's miss from point blank range. Though I must say he obviously was not expecting Keller to fumble the first shot. He didn't look ready to put in a rebound.

Also saw Cole's header. Fine finish on a defensive error.

I did see some of the highlights. I have no idea how Johansson missed putting in that rebound from his original shot. He was well inside the six-yard box. It should have been "game over" at that point.

Carlton Cole's goal was a cracker. A thundering header.

I would have hoped for two or three goals from this matchup. Charlton needs to add to their goal differential. I'd hate for them to miss out on Europe because of scoring too few goals.
