Harry Redknapp’s return to White Hart Lane wasn’t a happy one as Spurs ran riot in the first half with a convincing display, beating QPR 4-0 Sunday.<\/p>\n
Mauricio Pochettino’s men took charge of proceedings with a dominant first half performance putting them three goals to the good at the break, with Nacer Chadli (2) and Eric Dier finding the net.<\/p>\n
With job done, Spurs relaxed in the second period but Emmanuel Adebayor still helped himself to a goal, as the visitors struggled to keep up with the slick pass-and-move style of the north London side.<\/p>\n
It was in the first half when the damage was done however, with Spurs quick out the blocks – as they seek to lay down a top four marker – whilst Rangers looked completely flummoxed by their new-look 3-5-2 formation.<\/p>\n
Rangers had a goal disallowed later on, but Spurs display will have left the home supporters going home happy.<\/p>\n
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have maximum points, and playing with confidence and swagger – built on the solid central base of Messrs. Kaboul, Vertonghen, Bentaleb and Capoue – they’ll offer a stern test to Liverpool when the Reds visit next weekend.<\/p>\n
