22.10.1991 | Spurs travelled to Queens Park Rangers and lost this Football Combination match 1-3.
Two goals by Rangers in the first half handed Spurs a tough task to get back into the game. The goals came after periods of poor play by the Spurs team and it was only an inch perfect pass from Peter Garland that allowed David Howells to smash the ball past Tony Roberts, as he came out to close the Spurs man down. With Tottenham on top, it looked more likely that the goal would come from our players, but sloppy defending allowed QPR to get through for a third before the turnaround. The second half saw Spurs tighten up, but fail to create any decent opportunities to score and there was no addition to the score-line. Teams : |
