Tottenham 2 - Birmingham City 1



Spurs took the lead through a Peter Crouch header at the far post after Blues held out for most of the game against an attacking Spurs side. Lee Bowyer then equalised a couple of minutes later capitalising on a defensive mix-up, before Aaron Lennon broke Blues hearts by firing in from just outside the penalty area deep into injury time.
