TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR CAME from 3-0 down to rescue a 3-3 draw with West Brom at the Hawthorns.
Matej Vydra gave West Brom a first-minute lead from close range when Spurs and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris palmed a Morgan Amalfitano cross into his path.
Things got even better for the Baggies three minutes later when Chris Brunt volleyed home after Spurs failed to clear a Steven Reid cross.

Travelling Spurs fans must have feared the north London club’s luck was out when, after Amalfitano brought down Danny Rose, Emmanuel Adebayor’s weak penalty was saved by England goalkeeper Ben Foster.
West Brom then made it 3-0 in the 31st minute when a poor backwards header by Spurs’ Younes Kaboul allowed Stephane Sessegnon to run through and score.
Spurs, however, did pull a goal back three minutes later when Jonas Olsson deflected Aaron Lennon’s ball across the box into his own net.
The visitors made it 3-2 with 20 minutes left when Harry Kane headed in a Lennon cross and sixth-placed Spurs’ comeback was complete in stoppage time when Christian Eriksen smashed in an equaliser.
