AVB is slowly getting it right

Tottenham Hotspur 2 Queens Park Rangers 1

Not that there was much sign of a developing partnership between manager and supporters at half time at White Hart Lane when the home side trooped off to a chorus of jeers having been outplayed by a vibrant Queens Park Rangers side who were ahead through a Bobby Zamora goal.

Changes were needed and Villas-Boas did what he reportedly does best and found a tactical solution that worked. Two goals in a minute – an own goal from Alejandro Faurlin and a wining strike for Jermain Defoe – were the result, enough to ensure Tottenham followed up their first league win of the season at Reading last weekend with their first success at home.
