English Premier League

Hull 1 Spurs 5
Tottenham Hotspur continues their great run in the premiee league by trouncing Hull City 5 - 1 at the KC Stadium in Hull. Defoe scored a hattrick with the other 2 coming from Wilson Palacios and Robbie Keane. But Spurs coulbd be thanking their lucky stars, blessing in disguise, when Heurelho Gomez had to be replaced by Carlo Cudicini in the 16th minute when the keeper landed awkwardly following an extravagant punch, looked shame-faced as he retrieved the ball.
Last Sunday, Spurs had a great start to their Premier League campaign this season by beating Liverpool 2 - 1 last Sunday at White Heart Lane. only to be equalised by Gerrard from the spot when erratic and clumsy Gomez brought down Johnson just inside Spurs' penalty box. Bassong, the new player brought in from Newcastle did the damage when he made the right connection with an headed goal.
