It is a miracle that West Brom is in 14 place with the second-lowest goals for record in the league.

A 1-1 draw with West Brom looks to have put paid to Tottenham’s Premier League title hopes but Harry Kane is refusing to give up.
The result means any win by Leicester City – at Manchester United, at home against Everton or away to Chelsea, will secure the Premier League title for the Foxes, leaving Tottenham to wonder what might have been.
“It has not gone”.
“All we can do is keep fighting and do what we can”. Tonight’s game, you expect them to win.
“We were unlucky in the first half and created a lot of chances but this always happens in football”. We felt we could have easily won the game if we had come out in the second half like in the first half. “Hopefully Man United can do us a favour”.
“They are very disappointed in there but we are very young and we need to use this experience for the next few seasons. Spurs are powerful, they were awesome at Stoke last week”.
However, Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela both hit the woodwork as Spurs failed to add to their advantage.
It was the club’s first victory at Spurs since 1984, when the Baggies went six league matches unbeaten at the Lane, winning four of those between 1979-84.
Premier League top scorer Kane believes they must learn to be more clinical. We had too many sloppy passes in the first 10 minutes. But we’ve just got to win our remaining three games.
One of the keys to Tottenham’s fantastic form this season has been their ability to keep players healthy.
“[Craig Dawson] was unfortunate but he is a whole-hearted defender”.
Eriksen then hit the crossbar on 13 minutes with another sweetly-struck set-piece that was aimed at the top right-hand corner, and then Myhill saved well again from Kane low down on 20 minutes.
Fletcher wouldn’t pick a title victor after putting a major damper on Spurs’s dreams.
Without kicking the ball, Leicester were handed an advantage that may see them lift the crown on Sunday at Old Trafford if they beat the Luis Van Gaal boys. A couple of other stops frustrated Spurs and ultimately cost them a valuable three points in the title race.

With the deadlock broken, Tottenham began to enjoy themselves, Mousa Dembele flicking his way nonchalantly through Darren Fletcher and the home supporters launching into an optimistic rendition of “Leicester City, we’re coming for you”.
