Final Score: Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 0 Bolton
Harry Redknapp, Tottenham's new manager, oversaw a first league win of the season for the Lilywhites.
Roman Pavlyuchenko, who got onto the end of a David Bentley cross, scored a perfect header.
The side still look like they lack confidence, but the performance the players gave was much improved. After watching the game today, it's obvious that Ramos had lost the dressing room.
Harry got the side playing, especially Modric, who was popping up all over the pitch, making passes, showing good movement, and looking like a great player.
Bolton saw a player sent off in the second half and could not hold Spurs back, especially after Darren Bent tucked away a penalty, making it 2 - 0.
Harry Redknapp still has a massive task on his hands, but at least he has got the club its first win of the season, and hopefully the players can gain confidence from today's win.
I also found it interesting that Ledley King played. Only two weeks ago, Ramos, stated that King can only play once every 2 to 3 weeks. Maybe we shouldn't be reading anything into this, but King did play on Thursday against Udinese. Also, The Times columnist, Gab Marcotti, has stated that King's injury is down to the Ramos regime. Unfortunately, Marcotti never expanded on that statement. Let's hope that our captain can become a permanent fixture in the side.
COYS!!!

Thank god for Harry!
A much needed result at long last - Ramos a co will not be missed.
Gormless Gomes is a very weak keeper and for 7 million was waste of money.
Bolton always put him under pressure from corners and if he continues between the sticks Spurs will remain vunerable and leak unnecessary goals. Gomes needs to practice catching and stop trying to injure his own players.

enjoy!
