Harry Redknapp will be pleased with the club finishing in the top four after their win against Fulham while Liverpool’s loss to Swansea City went unnoticed on a dramatic last day in the Barclays Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham
Harry Redknapp knew his side were still in with a chance of finishing third in the league and needed a win in order to ensure that possibility could become a reality. Arsenal were level with West Bromwich Albion at one point and Tottenham were in with a
real chance of overtaking their London rivals.
Former Arsenal player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526, made no mistake when he was gifted an opportunity in only the second minute of the match. The goal gave the home side plenty to build upon and they pushed on hoping to get the result they needed.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359, who has been a backroom figure for large parts of the current season was introduced into the match and reminded the footballing world just what he was capable of when he scored in the 63rd minute to double Tottenham’s lead.
Third place seemed a real possibility for Spurs at this point however, news of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 taking the lead in their match soon broke through and that meant despite their win, Tottenham would spend one more season in the shadows of Arsenal.
Swansea City v http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809
Kenny Dalglish will have been grateful for all the drama taking place in the rest of the Premier League as very few actually noticed that Liverpool lost their final match of the season away to Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea dominated the first half holding a significant proportion of the possession for long periods before the match became a much more even contest in the second half.
Liverpool pressed on in search of an goal that would help them end the season on a high, however, a late goal by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Graham in the 86th minute mean that the Reds ended a poor League campaign with a whimper as they suffered yet another defeat.
Swansea City on the other hand, capped off their impressive debut in the season with a memorable result in, what was otherwise, a forgettable match.
