West Brom will wonder how they managed to throw away two precious points, which may yet cost them in their battle against relegation. Tottenham were as bad in the first half as they were impressive in the second, when Eriksen struck a last-gasp goal to snatch a point.
Ben Foster saved Emmanuel Adebayor’s first-half penalty but the hosts were 3-0 up inside 31 minutes as Spurs’ defensive howlers handed the strugglers goals by Matej Vydra, Chris Brunt and Stephane Sessegnon.
Jonas Olsson’s unlucky deflected own goal before half-time gave Tottenham a lifeline and ultimately helped inspire a fightback that also featured a goal by Harry Kane with 20 minutes left.

West Brom would probably have been pleased with a point before the game, but we are disappointed we haven’t come away with a win
Tim Sherwood
Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood said: “I can’t explain why we were so lethargic early on but defensive mistakes have cost us.
“At 3-0 down you have a mountain to climb but I always felt we could come back.
“West Brom would probably have been pleased with a point before the game, but we are disappointed we haven’t come away with a win.”

West Brom boss Pepe Mel said: “We are all very sad and cross. It’s good that they are cross because they want to win.
“We deserve a lot of credit for the first half but we need to work on our defensive errors. We now need to see the same reaction to this as we had at Norwich.”
