Tottenham opened the scoring when Aaron Lennon cut in from the left to slot in after 35 minutes and doubled the lead in the second half when Assou-Ekotto received the ball and smashed a shot into the corner from 30 yards.
Spurs started the season badly with a 1-5 home loss to Manchester City, and a 0-3 drubbing by Manchester United at old Trafford in the first two games, but since then have bounced back to win 14 of the next 18 English Premier League games and give themselves a shout of a first league title in 50 years.
