Assured Tottenham back in top four

Tottenham returned to the top four in the Barclays Premier League after a comfortable 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Blackburn at White Hart Lane.

Despite winning only one of their previous nine league games, Harry Redknapp's side were on top for almost the entire 90 minutes with their opponents not managing a single effort on goal.

Rafael van der Vaart opened the scoring in the first half but it took the hosts until the 74th minute to secure the points as Kyle Walker hit an unstoppable 30-yard free-kick past Paul Robinson.
