Spurs still winless at Wembley
Tottenham were left
frustrated by Swansea as the Welsh side earned a 0-0 draw at Wembley in the
Premier League on Saturday.
The best chance of the
game fell to Harry Kane in the second half, but the striker hit the bar from
eight yards after Moussa Sissoko has pulled the ball back.
Lukasz Fabianski kept
Spurs at bay on numerous occasions, saving from Heung-Min Son twice, as well as
Kane's close-range header.
The result means Spurs
are still without a win at Wembley in the Premier League, while Swansea move up
to 14th with five points from five games.
Spurs, who had seemingly
ended their Wembley hoodoo with a 3-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in
midweek, enjoyed 75 per cent possession and managed 26 shots in the late
Saturday kick-off against a stubborn Swansea who refused to be beaten.
During a first half
lacking in chances, Kane forced a good save out of Fabianski from a 30-yard
free-kick, before the Swansea goalkeeper denied Son from an acute angle.
Spurs upped the tempo in
the second half, and should have been ahead on the hour mark, only for the
crossbar to deny Kane after Sissoko had picked him out in the penalty area at
close range.
Kane's glancing header
from a Christian Eriksen corner was superbly tipped away by Fabianski, before
Dele Alli miscued a header from Eriksen's pinpoint cross.
Spurs had several shouts
for a penalty, the biggest for a Martin Olsson handball and an Olsson shove on
Serge Aurier in the second half, but Mike Dean waved all away.
Kane and Kieran Trippier
both went close for the hosts late in the game, flashing wide from long range,
and Swansea eventually held on for a vital point.
