Soldado’s First Goal In Two Months Keeps Spurs Going
- Updated: March 3, 2014
Tottenham kept up their slim hopes of Champions League football next season thanks to Roberto Soldado’s first goal in more than two months in a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Cardiff.
The goal came just before the half-hour mark when Emmanuel Adebayor found the striker in the box with a slick pass and Soldado took the ball beautifully in his stride before calmly finishing into the far corner.
It was his first Premier League goal at White Hart Lane from open play and his first in nine games.
The struggling Bluebirds should have levelled soon after when Steven Caulker headed Craig Bellamy’s corner against the crossbar from a couple of yards out with Hugo Lloris rooted to his line.
It was the north Londoners’ fourth win in five Premier League home matches and victory also helped them cut the gap on fourth-placed Manchester City to four points.
Cardiff’s seventh consecutive league defeat on the road leaves them one point and one place off the bottom of the table.
